Planet of the Humans - a total bummer!

Michael Moore presents a film by Jeff Gibbs

Seen it yet?

https://m.




From Variety:
A flashing red light to the green power movement, “Planet of the Humans” offers disillusioning evidence that much of what’s currently promoted as renewable energy is ineffectual, wasteful and far from “clean.” Released to YouTube on the eve of Earth Day’s 50th anniversary, it’s a provocative if straight-up depressing takedown of brand-name environmentalism that offers much bad news with scant constructive upside. This debut directorial feature for executive producer Michael Moore’s longtime producer and composer Jeff Gibbs is also the first documentary project under their Rumble Media banner. Both filmmakers will host a live discussion the evening of April 22 on the doc’s YouTube channel and other platforms


A very sobering look at ‘renewable’ energy and infinite growth on a finite planet.

He does not narrate it.

If you value the truth it is well worth watching.

Every environmental ‘hero’ seems a total sellout.

Very eye-opening

Sobering truths that help explain how we are all manipulated by the 1%.

Forum of the Boomers.

If you think that's depressing take a look at what's happening with arctic sea ice this year.

99% of what's being discussed will be completely meaningless when the latent heat of fusion turns against us.
