British movie The Age Of Stupid, which opens worldwide in September, takes place in 2050, when environmental catastrophes have overtaken the Earth. One of the poor benighted residents of that future dystopia watches footage of people from 2008 arguing about the environment, and wonders how we could have been such idiots. Here's some more gorgeous future disaster art, including a factory farming complex that could be an evil laboratory from a space-horror film:

The Center for American Progress created the map to provide scientific information on the dangers of global warming. Contributors suggest points on the map that, according to scientific research, have recently experienced or are predicted to experience increases in storm activity, flooding, heat waves, and fires due to global warming. The map also looks at endangered fisheries and possible threats to human health, such as increases in vector-borne diseases and algae blooms. Clicking on individual points on the map brings up a detailed prediction of the future weather patterns.

Most of the points currently on the map are focused on North America and Europe, but future contributions should offer a look at the possible consequences of climate change worldwide.
