GREEN BROWNSHIRTS STRIKE AT MICHAEL MOORE
Powerline ^ | April 26,2020 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 04/26/2020 6:53:55 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Moore comes at the issue from a far-left perspective:

Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — 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 — 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.

Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue? Because that would be bad for profits, bad for business. Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green” illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars?

So there! Have you noticed how dependent leftists and liberals are on arguments from authority these days? In their eyes, questioning alleged “authority” is a cardinal sin. Their fascist tendencies are shining through.

Actually, it is indisputable that wind and solar are “inefficient, useless and dependent on fossil fuels to work.” It is also true that we would be “better off just burning the fossil fuels in the first place” and not complicating the energy grid with unreliable, expensive wind and solar. If you want facts, rather than invocations of purported authority, this report is a great place to start.

It turns out that the argument is:

But the wealthy elitists are the authors of the “climate change” hoax. So we need to listen to the “green” voices, which are their puppets, as they guide us into complete subservience to...the elitists.

Man do I wish I had a time machine to throw some of these greenies and Moore into to show them what the future would be like if they got their way.

They’d become staunch conservatives overnight.

Moore makes a good point. Fossil fuels are better than the so called "green solutions". He says more batteries will not solve anything.

I feel very uneasy when I agree with Michael Moore.
Kind of nauseous, actually.

Yeah, I know. I remember in 2016 when Moore said Donald Trump was going to win. I did a double take and had to agree with Moore.

The elite climate change proponents should surrender their wealth and sacrifice themselves into a volcano. That would be a good start to curbing “human presence and consumption “.

Did they mention biomass.?! I mean you mean like using trees 🌲 as a form of fuel? Wood chips? Dura Flame logs? If wood chips are burned at a very high temperature there may be little or no pollution. Wood chips burned with coal may reduce or chemically change the mercury in coal into an inert material. The East Coast has got a surplus of trees. Mixing trees with coal might be economically viable.

They should just relax, there is no climate crisis.

CO2 is not a dangerous pollutant.

Such irony!! As I have said so many times on this forum: never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. No one has a copyright on truth. Now that it is coming from their side, the leftist pigs are squealing.

best part of the movie...gets this guy to admit that to power 10 homes for year...the solar “farm” would have to be 3 miles wide...and 5 miles long...hilarious.

What the dopes dont know is in order to make batteries or for that matter anything you need fossil fuel. Does solar power make wind turbines? does wind turbines make solar panels

Quote from the film “One of the most dangerous things right now is the illusion that alternative technologies, like wind and solar, are somehow different from fossil fuels…You would have been better off just burning the fossil fuels in the first place, instead of playing pretend.”

No. It is Mother Earth worshipers who think all the unbelievers need to convert or die.
