Let’s just have a think…

On the 50th Anniversary of the first ever Earth Day, Jeff Gibbs and Michael Moore released a documentary film free on You Tube. The film is called Planet of the Humans, and it proved quite popular. This week we review the movie and consider its implications for climate activism.

Planet of the Humans | Full Documentary | Directed by Jeff Gibbs

Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day β€” that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road β€” selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late.

There is a lot of truth in this film - as much as people want to denounce it. Green energy isn't as green as it's proponents make it seem. Before you reject the film, I encourage you to catch the film in it's entirety and give it a lot of thought.
