Planet of the Humans

Last evening, while perusing Amazon Prime Video, I came across a 2020 documentary titled Planet of the Humans.  Released by Huron Mountain Films, it was written and narrated by Jeff Gibbs; Michael Moore is the Executive Producer.  Focused on the impact of humans on Earth's climate and on the welfare of our planet's natural ecosystems, the documentary was educational, intriguing and deeply disturbing.

Much of the show uncovered the illusions associated with "Green Energy," including the use of fossil fuels in its production and implementation.  The documentary also reviewed the destructive mining and pollution associated with the manufacturing of solar panels and batteries and the deforestation that fuels biomass energy plants.  The hypocrisy of many leading environmentalists, energy power-brokers and conservation organizations is laced throughout the production.

I highly recommend the film for anyone who is concerned about climate change and  the destruction of natural habitat.  As the documentary concludes, our efforts to rescue Earth must include population control, decreased personal consumption, diminished emphasis on economic growth and a commitment to increasing biologic diversity by re-wilding the planet.
