Michael Moore’s deeply flawed new documentary criticizes fossil fuels and capitalism. So why does Calgary love it?

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.is manipulative, and in many ways an exercise in lazy documentary making. The film is rife with out-of-date facts and figures about the efficacy of solar and wind power. And it’s so strong on gloom that it ignores many potential solutions to the world’s energy problems.

Ideally, biomass uses bioenergy sources – mostly wood waste products from lumber operations and the like – to produce heat or steam for electricity generation. According to Natural Resources Canada, biomass produced about 2 per cent of the country’s electricity in 2016, and Canada is the second-largest exporter of the wood pellets that power biomass plants in Europe, Japan and the U.S., after the U.S. itself.

. “Burning wood pellets is more polluting at the stack than coal when it comes to climate-warming carbon dioxide. To make matters worse, that doesn’t even begin to cover the damage caused from logging vital forests,” the environmental group said.

Pieced together from old and new footage, it looks critical at some issues and not others. It’s an incomplete discussion of the problems.

Alberta’s oil industry would stand up and applaud anyone who supports the status quo.

Green energy ideas were great ‘til scumbag capitalists took it over.

Somebody has to have their head out of their ass!

Is this an attempt to portray the film as anti-environmental using guilt by association?

Sustainable Green Energy, is neither Sustainable nor Green. That fact doesn't change, no matter how many doomsday articles the media runs, or how much they push 'the Greta' as the almighty keeper of the truth.

I remember when the Ontario Liberal government ask all the schools in Ontario to show the movie 'Inconvenient truth' to all students as a way to brainwash them. Now they should ask all the schools to show this movie 'Planet of the Humans'.

I can't shake the feeling that 've seen this face on someone else but a much younger look? Oh ya!

Unexpected audience? Isn't Planet of the Humans an all-out assault on the green energy crowd and environment movement. If I was an oil patch worker, or associated with the energy industry in any way, I'm guessing I would be assumed as being the target audience.

Been looking for a reason to cancel my subscription before the price goes up and I believe I have found her.

Oil Sands just a old man's dream

How is that unexpected? The oil& gas sector has been demonized by ill informed govt & media paid by the govt. Michael Moore has proven the demonization is wrong. Which the oil & gas sector has been saying forever. Funny it takes a celeb to get the message out.
