Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

The Age of Stupid is the new documentary-drama-animation hybrid from Director Franny Armstrong and Oscar-winning Producer John Battsek. Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite stars as the founder of The Global Archive in the devastated world of 2055. The archive is located in the (now melted) Arctic, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet, ravaged by runaway climate change, might one day be habitable again. He watches ‘archive’ footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?
