Planet of the Humans

Finally got around to “Planet of the Humans,” and I think it’s the most consequential thing that’s ever had Michael Moore’s name on it.

I watched it because I chanced across this story. What a disappointment it was to read about how hard one of my heroes, Naomi Klein, worked to have this doc go away.

But I guess that’s the way it goes, now that the billionaires make the rules. You can either cave and join the billionaires, as Naomi has done, or you can toil in obscurity. 

Luckily, Moore retains enough schlep, at least for the time being, to get this film out, regardless.

The very thought that we can enjoy infinite economic growth on a finite planet is bogus on the face of it. That fact should be even more obvious in this time of pestilence. It takes a lot of money to convince the public that things can be otherwise.

What a tragedy that so many environment groups and progressive thinkers have fallen for the money.
