Drama-documentary-animation hybrid starring Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, watching archive footage from 2008 and asking why climate change wasn’t stopped before it was too late.

No es casualidad, el ser humano se condena.

parece que volvemos a la edad media pero sin una religión que no someta.
parece que volvemos a la edad media pero con armas de fuego. La religión en
la edad media, controlaba toda Europa, es la época obscura de la ciencia,
porque si te atrevías a decir que el planeta era redondo te torturaban,
ahora todo eso cambió, ahora nos somete la televisión, la hora excesiva en
las redes sociales , y gente que se cree poeta que ofende a Darío. Por
favor ayuden a que lean los jóvenes.
oil is just a product that we want but has become a need like water
No existe en venta en mi país, México.
muy buen doc como trata las distintas vidas que a la vez estan tan unidas
triste y cruda realidad.
Excelente película! reflexionemos!
The inventor of the diesel engine warned about the dangers of air
pollution, and designed his engine to run on plant oils (oringinally peanut
oil). Look at the difference between the emissions from running diesel
engines on plant oils- and petroleum oil. The reason diesel engines are run
on petroleum? The oil industry was already incredibly powerful before the
turn of the last century.
Eco-agriculture uses natural life processes to sustain and restore soils,
the water cycle, and sequesters huge amounts of carbon- if done properly.
Grazing/ browsing livestock *properly managed* are one of the best tools
for sequestering carbon in soils, whilst producing quality protein food for
people. See Allan Savory, Holistic Management International.
Eson te demuestra y corrobora el grado de inteligencia humano y el porque
de la situación actual que describe el documental….
leer saben no?
Oil companies are not just in bed with the government it is the government.
I’d say corporations are the government.
The Age of Stupid, I’d say the age of stupid egos and emotions.
che, dejen de comentar pelotudeces!
Nothing, there is no future for us.
this is the kind of shit i talk about in my videos some times
Pretty accurate as to timing – should probably have emphasized more the
chaos and destruction that must occur as societies and ecosystems collapse.
Its has happened before naturally – 250 ma ago when 95% of all species on
Earth became extinct due to runaway warming among other things.
The least these oil companies can do is build hospitals, schools and water
treatment plants in the communities they essentially ruin with their
operations. It is truly shameful that on top of all the environmental
damage they do, they just pick up and leave the residents in those
communities as high and dry as the wells. How do these CEOs sleep at
night?!
