    The documentary Age of Stupid depicts a dystopian future in 2055 where the impacts of climate change have severely damaged the world. An old man looks back on archive footage from the early 21st century showing events like melting glaciers, Hurricane Katrina, and conflicts over oil extraction. The film suggests that by failing to address climate change when there was still time, humanity "could have saved ourselves" from the current dire situation. It aims to convey the message that urgent global action is needed to avoid catastrophic climate change in the coming decades.
