The Age of Stupid - Drama Documentary Notes



. Changes in every day life make an impact on the future - smaller and bigger choices.

. Aim to look after the planet.

. Oil is a main contributing factor for global warming - "The oil business is the government".

. "Oil became the resource worth fighting for".

. Everything is consumerism.

. If the world consumed like America, we'd need five planets worth of resources.

. Big consumer countries such as China, America, Australia and European countries are big consumers - so much is being used yearly.

. Equity to resolve the issue, each continent having equal right and opportunity to use the resources. Everyone is given an 'annual yearly amount' - this is known as the Global Carbon Cap. Every continent in the world would be down to zero Carbon use by 2065.

. Look for replacements in renewable energy.

. Oil, population, money and land = all serious consumerism.

. American government censoring serious issues as 'potential problems'.

. There are counter arguments to the 'doom and gloom' too. Different benefits and weaknesses either-way.

. A consumerist society - a need for profit.

. We are, as a globe, seriously affected by advertising.
