Planet of the Humans, a film
produced by Michael Moore,
contains a decent compilation
of facts about renewables.
I liked that "half" of the film.
The other "half" of the film was
bad: Moore believes global
warming is an existential crisis,
apparently based on those
wild guess computer games.
Based on real science,
using measurements
and observations,
NOT computer games,
I believe warming
has been good news
for the past 325 years,
and there is no logical
reason to believe more
mild warming in the future
will suddenly reverse
to being bad news !
Moore also believes
the right "solution"
to the (imaginary)
coming climate crisis
is a lot fewer people
living on our planet.
We knew Moore
was anti-capitalism.
He now
exposes
himself as
anti-human.
One key point
in Moore’s film,
is the strong belief
that there are
way too many of us,
and a bunch of us
have got to go.
I'd vote for Moore
to be one of the
first to go !
There are sufficient
fossil fuels on Earth
to sustain growth
for hundreds of years.
Enough coal for 400 years,
oil for 1,000 years, and
natural gas for 2,000 years.
Peak oil has been
a mistaken concept
for decades.
The arctic hasn’t been
explored very much
for oil and natural gas.
Because fracking
opened up many new
natural gas supplies
around the world,
that weren’t even
dreamed of a few
decades ago.
The US government
has identified an amazing
51,338 trillion-cubic-feet
of natural gas lying on
the outer continental shelf
of the US lower 48 states,
which is twenty times
the current US reserves
of natural gas.
Moore wants
fewer people,
and those
who are left
should be
deprived
of goods made
with petroleum,
that make life
enjoyable.
Michael Moore's
anti-human views
surprised me,
because I thought
such anti-human
beliefs faded after
the 1960s.
With a little research,
I found out that a
population reduction
goal has become
a majority view
among the people
who see themselves
as environmentalists.
