The Left 'has attacked' Michael Moore for his 'Planet Human' documentary

michael moore has been a hero of the left for films like Bowling for Columbine taking on the US gun culture that got an Academy Award then there was Fahrenheit 9/11 attacking President George Bush in the war in Iraq that made him a real hero but now Michael Moore is under furious attack from the left for a new film that was released free on the internet this week Moore is the executive producer it's called planet of the humans this time the target is the Renewable Energy scam even though Moore says that he and the film director Jeff Gibbs have been greenies forever we've we've been environmental sir our entire lives but now well there are things in this film actually that I don't agree with I don't agree that the planet is in worse shape than ever this is where filmmakers they're their green credentials run away with them it's not you know overpopulation blah blah blah we've heard all that look in the West at least the air in most big cities is cleaner you can see it for yourself rivers are less polluted we are much more careful than we used to be and in fact NASA satellite measurements show that the planet has actually got greener over the past 35 years isn't that worth celebrating but more and particularly director Jeff Gibbs do make some great points about a scam that too many journalists have refused the question and that is why their film has come as such a shock to so many and why green groups in health actually trying to get planet of the humans banned isn't that a sign of the time so you don't like the message just try to ban yeah just the case they succeed I want to show you maybe five minutes from the film great stuff I think you'll love it and I urge you to see the rest on the Internet while it's still up there it goes for an hour and 40 minutes not a minute wasted and it's had three million views already for the moment though watch these extracts and enjoy now to do their part for the new green economy General Motors introduced a new line of electric vehicles when the Chevy Volt was ready for a really I attended their press conference so these electric vehicles are ready for public consumption and we're ready with the infrastructure with the rates with the communications I am extremely grateful to be here today and in fact this is a chance for me to say thank you more formally the Chevy Volt is upstairs we'll be able to take a look at it [Music] [Laughter] so simple as that the batteries are in the trunk no the battery in this particular design is a t-shape right down the center and across the backseat area does everybody thought we killed the electric vehicle so what's charging the batteries right now what's the source of here it's coming from the building I mean is it what's her mix of power Oh actually Lansing feeds a building Lansing feeds power to another parent starting off of your grid right it would be charging off our grid which is 90 about 95 percent cool you think it'll be before there's a solar to suggest that all of the power used for these cars will be generated from wind and solar in the very near future would you not be correct in fact these we're talking about charging these up at night so it won't be any solar at that time so we're down to wind and very often at night the wind does fall off so it's got lovely BTUs it's got lovely energy value how do you burn it more cleanly I mean do you see natural gas getting bashed we will be delivering power based on national gas very shortly and even with that that mix we intend to use biofuels if we can extremely supportive we did install the state's largest solar array at my company the Board of Water and light it's just down the street from a few miles if you want to take a look at what what outfit are you with new world media we're doing a segment on the renewable energy I decided to take him up on his offer to check out their football field-sized the solar array right down the street as you can see Jeff Gibbs did go down the street to say you see that impressive array of solar power and guess just how little good it did we could meet the energy requirements for ten dollars over ten homes that's pretty good isn't it but we're told that Seoul is still is very green right I mean free light from the Sun I mean really that's how much greener can you get but here is what planet that humans actually found Aussies enter a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley and Northwestern University was asking some of the same questions I mean I thought that solar and wind were probably a very good solution so it wasn't really even that long ago one of the most dangerous things right now is the illusion that alternative technologies like wind and solar are somehow different from fossil fuels well I hear a lot of times that solar cells are made of sand have you ever thought about solar panels the main ingredient that makes them work is silicon or sand this is the raw material chips are made of sand they don't you sand it off so the use I'll show you this is this is one of them the ingredients actually - spruce pine north carolina's regarded as the finest source of high purity quartz in the world for semiconductor solar and communication applications she can't use sand because sand has too many impurities so you start with a very high quality quartz and a very high quality coal and then you put those two together into an arc furnace and you melt them the quartz is then melted with coal and a large furnace at temperatures of up to 1,800 degrees when we melt these together we get silicon metal in carbon dioxide the carbon dioxide just goes off and you get rid of the carbon you left with metal this is not clean cold Aziz ener said it was an illusion that renewables were replacing coal or any fossil fuel environmental groups continued telling a different story we've already seen more than 25% of the US coal fleet has already either retired or is on a schedule to retire coal plants were closing but Ozzie explained that well meeting people were being misled and the energy is now gonna go ahead and shut down the plant and go with renewable one of the largest solar plants and that's gonna happen right behind me since you can't replace a coal plant with solar they're actually replacing the coal plant with two natural gas plants and natural gas is a fossil fuel this is the Las Vegas go jet natural gas plant this is one of the facilities that's replacing with the coal plant that's being shut down but can't we just rely on solar and we're not that terrible gas when we replace these even more terrible coal-fired power systems well know as a plant of humans to say there are times when the wind doesn't blow and the Sun doesn't shine and you always need some other power supply on standby waiting to take over I mean well we banned nuclear so you're kind of that leaves coal and gas kinda and turning them up and down to all the time for when the wind and solar aren't there well that's terribly expensive and where's the batteries out and oh really where's the system's out really and batteries well they're not quite up to the job and they're even more horrendously expensive look the whole thing's today a mess the whole thing's a mess which is why power prices Australia now so high I'd love to just show you more of the film but that wouldn't be fair you really got to see the whole lot an hour and 40 minutes on YouTube worth it worth it but what the film doesn't actually say because they are greens still that make it is that all this effort of green power all this expense is for next to nothing the real warming we've seen has not been catastrophic at all cutting our emissions is not going to make any difference that we could measure not not in Australia watch the rest on YouTube planet of the humans you might not agree with all of it but I think you should agree after watching it that you've been told a lot

I love it when they eat their own.

Wind and solar contribute an insignificant amount of uneconomical “green” energy some of the time. Just ignore the toxic materials in solar panels, the non recyclable materials in bird killing wind mills, the non recyclable toxic materials in batteries and all the taxpayer money that wind-solar need to survive.

Now he's going to discover how fucking nuts his people are.

If only we could unite around the only power source that makes sense: nuclear power.

[u/etzpcm]

Yup, just what I predicted when his movie came out 5 days ago

If a cult member realises he's been conned and speaks out, the rest of the cult denounces the heretic.

This video is better than the Planet Human movie.

[u/Polarisman]

Clearly, the emperor, as it were, has no clothes. The entire climate change hysteria is based on false premises, bad politics and a fundamental hatred of capitalism.

The movie points out that the move to solar and wind power is based on politics and fraud, not the free market.

[u/DukeMaximum]

The left will tolerate everything except disagreement.

I suggested this documentary to another sub I’m in. One person replied in a manner suggesting they refuse to watch it because of both Michael Moore and calling climate change a hoax. It bothers me when people can limit themselves from something they disagree with when sometimes those things actually have merit. It’s a great documentary covering exposing the business. What alarmed me most though were the responses all pointing to population control. Section gave me bad feelings.
