I agree with you whole heartedly that we cannot tackle climate chnage if we don't understand peak oil and if we fail to grasp the fact that the way we live has been brought about by cheap energy. The future, I believe, lies in people - not politics or hoping that market forces will lead to real change. The Age of Stupid, which I haven't seen yet, will hopefully wake people up. Like one of the women in the post-screening clips, I too am changing my career to work on awareness raising of the true extent of the energy crisis. Each and every one of us has to look at our life and change it to survive in an expensive world. Loved the Australian advert, by the way. Hi Shaun – just discovered your excellent website.
