'Demoralizing' New Michael Moore Film Attacks Climate Movement at a Time When Solutions Should be at the Forefront, Say Critics
"Throughout, the filmmakers twist basic facts, misleading the public about who is responsible for the climate crisis."
The documentary was posted in the group just the other day. While I didn't have plans on watching the whole thing that day I skipped through it some. It doesn't surprise me there are going to be some negative comments on it from various aspects of society. I caught a few misrepresentations myself.
One off the top of my head was about losing wind and sunshine to keep power going. Can I get a battery source to store power? I have solar lights on the poles to my deck on the front of the house. By morning the lights are fairly weakened. Even on a day with no sunshine they are revived by the coming night to work again. I'm fairly certain someone is going to pick this apart tomwhere I don't need to waste my time on watching it.
I lost all sense of respect for Moore in 2016 and his hypocritcal support and comments for the democratic party. He now reminds me of Hitchens who made a career out of changing philosophy depending on where the money was to produce his next book, using the current social issues being repeatedly beaten into conditioning acceptance.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The problem with battery packs for solar is that they are big units that cost way too much and they don't store more than like a day of energy. They're pretty infantile in their development right now.

I have now read two criticisms of this movie. I disagree with both.The amount of energy expended to put up one wind generator is simply enormous. The human cost involved with obtaining the rare earths is typical mining 'don't care a damn about the workers'. Look at the concrete alone. Just like hydro-electric dams (at least they last longer) the cost in energy in concrete is massive. Solar panels are fantastically expensive for what they actually produce. And I am totally pissed off with the biomass plants using whole logs.
