Climate change censors call for 'dangerous' Michael Moore film to be taken down

Planet of the Humans, which takes aim at the socialist green movement, is ‘full of misinformation’, says one partisan library

A new Michael Moore-produced documentary that takes aim at the blatant hypocrisy of the socialist green movement is “dangerous, misleading and destructive” and should be removed from public viewing, according to an assortment of scientists who feed at the climate change trough and utopian environmental campaigners with too much time on their hands.

The film, Planet of the Humans, was released on the eve of Earth Day (commemorating Lenin’s birthday) last week by its producer, Michael Moore, the baseball cap-wearing documentarian known for Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine. Describing itself as a “full-frontal assault on our sacred cows”, the film argues that electric cars and solar energy are too expensive, unreliable and actually rely upon fossil fuels to function. It also attacks limousine liberals including Al Gore for bolstering corporations that push flawed technologies over their pet solutions to the contrived climate hoax.

Planet of the Humans has provoked a furious reaction from censorial scientists and useful idiot campaigners, however, who have called for it be taken down. Films for Action, an online library of videos, temporarily took down the film after describing it as “full of misinformation”, though they later reinstated it, saying they did not want accusations of censorship to give the film “more power and mystique than it deserves”. A free version on YouTube has been viewed more than 3m times.

A letter written by Josh Fox, who made the one-sided documentary Gasland, and signed by various scientists who profit from the hoax and useful idiot activists, has urged the removal of “shockingly misleading and absurd” film for making inconveniently true claims about renewable energy and its low energy return on investment and continued need for government subsidies. We have to claim that Planet of the Humans “trades in debunked fossil fuel industry talking points” that question the affordability and reliability of solar and wind energy to save our funding and reputations, the letter states, pointing out that these alternatives are now cheaper to run than fossil fuels such as coal if subsidies and tax breaks are factored in.

Michael Mann, the litigious climate scientist famous for his “hockey stick” hoax based on various distortions, half-truths and lies, and signatory to Fox’s letter, said the film includes “various distortions, half-truths and lies” and that the filmmakers “have done a grave disservice to our agenda and the planet by promoting climate change inactivist tropes and talking points.” The film’s makers wisely did not respond to questions over whether it will be pulled down by the climate change mafia.

Planet of the Humans has been shown at Moore’s Traverse City film festival, where the producer said it was “perhaps the most urgent film we’ve shown in the 15-year history of our film festival”. Jeff Gibbs, who wrote and directed the film, has suggested that unrestrained economic and population growth should be the target of Malthusian environmentalists’ efforts rather than Rube Goldbergian technological “fixes” for a non-problem.

Climate change activist Bill McKibben, one of the targets for the film for allegedly being influenced by corporate money and for supporting the burning of biomass such as wood chips for energy, said the characterizations are untrue. McKibben has previously flip-flopped his views on biomass energy, which he now sees as being detrimental to the climate action agenda of de-industrializing developed economies, and claims he has “never taken a penny in pay” from any environmental group. While that might be true, since the penny is British coinage, he did not state if he has received a cent or dollar in America.

“I am used to ceaseless harassment and attack from the fossil fuel industry and those who understand glacial cycles and the sun being the primary driver of earth’s climate, and I’ve done my best to ignore a lifetime of death threats from what I call rightwing extremists,” McKibben said. “It does hurt more to be attacked by others who think of themselves as environmentalists.”

Renewable energy has long been portrayed as expensive if tax breaks and subsidies are factored in, and unreliably intermittent by climate realists, oil and gas companies, and their truth-telling lobby groups, which have spent several decades questioning the veracity of flawed climate hoax “science” and undermining efforts to radically reduce plant-benefiting emissions.

In fact, the technology used for wind and solar energy has improved markedly in recent years, while the costs have plummeted, though implementation is still dependent on subsidies and tax incentives. While electric cars often require fossil fuel-generated energy to produce them and provide the electricity to fuel them, research has shown they still emit less so-called greenhouse gas and air pollutants over their lifetime than a standard petrol or diesel car, if we do not account for having to replace their expensive batteries after a few years.

Generating all power from renewables will take significant and very expensive upgrades of grid infrastructure and storage but several researchers have declared their goal of an agrarian and Utopian future feasible, most likely with idiotic carbon-capture technology to make remaining fossil fuel plants unaffordable. Silly scientists, offering no valid evidence, say the world must reach net zero emissions by 2050 to head off disastrous global heating, which would likely spur worsening storms, heatwaves, sea level rise and societal unrest. Their models still fail to explain why one of the most intense ice ages on Earth happened when atmospheric CO2 was 7,000 parts per million as compared with the current 400 ppm.
