Not garden related, very late notice, but hopefully intesting to some
of you:

A climate change film entitled "The Age of Stupid." (brief synopsis is

It should be a blast!

Synopsis and Premiere Info
“The Age of Stupid” is a 90-minute climate blockbuster set in the
future with Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (“In The Name of the
Father”, “Brassed Off”) staring as a man living alone in the
devastated world of 2055, looking back at “archive” footage from 2007
and asking, “Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the
chance?”

For the global premiere, scheduled for September 21st, “The Age of
Stupid” will help launch the UN’s Climate Week and will be an epic
live event from a solar-powered cinema in New York City, complete with
green carpet and celebs arriving via bike, boat, biodiesel car and
more. We will be beaming the movie out through satellite links to over
440 theaters in the US and 700+ cinemas in 55+ countries. As well as
performances by Tom Yorke, there will be live climate impact updates
from Kofi Annan, climate scientists from the Arctic, Amazon
rainforest, a Himalayan glacier and New Orleans. Afterward, there will
be a panel including Kofi Annan, Gillian Anderson, Mary Robinson,
director Franny Armstrong, and star Pete Postlethwaite to discuss the
film and the tasks ahead. Copenhagen delegates are all being given
complimentary invites. Surely, this is one of the most important and
exceptional events in the lead-up to Copenhagen.

It's really amazing to think that parts of Mother Earth, now inhabited by millions of us , was at one time, under A MILE of solid ice?  Seems that time changes things.
