The End of the Week on May 1, 2020.
Michael Moore's Planet of the Humans have caused many debates in the progressive community. The documentary is popular in YouTube with millions of people watching the documentary. The problem with Moore's film is that it omits things, obfuscates real issues, and promotes false solutions to the problem of climate change. The documentary is right on many things. First, I will cite what the documentary has right, and then I will cite what the film has wrong later on. The film is right that biomass can be problematic, and we don't need massive deforestation in the world. The film is correct to cite the corporate/NGO infiltration of some (not all) environmental, international activists. Now, the film is wrong on tons of issues. The film is wrong to omit the Big Oil funding of climate denial and Trump's destruction of environmental regulations (these regulations have saved lives). It shows many falsehoods about clean energy and climate activism. Gibbs said that the electric vehicle probably runs on coal. That isn't true, because more electric vehicles have lower emissions than new gas powered cars. The U.S. electricity system is cleaner now than 10 years ago. Not to mention that solar costs have gone down. Even biomass supplied less than 2 percent of the U.S. electricity last year.
Burning fossil fuels, not wood, is the main cause of climate change. Even Bill Mckibben doesn't take money and has been taking on corporations for years. The film is silent on how fossil fuel companies and electric utilities have lied about climate science for 30 years. The movie says that humans are better off burning fossil fuels than using renewable energy which is ludicrous. The film showed the lies that green energy is futile, solar panels and wind farms cause massive environmental destruction, etc. Jeff Gibbs doesn't even interview a single climate scientist in the film. Leah Stokes refuted the film in her article. The Sierra Club has responded to the film with a statement. The documentary has outdated information, because he worked on it many years ago.
Moore showed no solutions but he desires massively less consumption by humans and massive population control (the documentary doesn't cite how this would happen, who would this come down to, and which types of human beings that they want to not have children). It is a historical fact that racists and eugenicists have called for massive population control instead of holding polluting corporations accountable for their actions. Europe has little population growth, but they are some of the largest carbon emitters on Earth. There is a reason why far right people and the Breitbart crowd have praised the film, because they agree with much of its message of bashing the modern day climate change movement. So, this population control agenda isn't necessarily targeted at Europeans per se, because most people on Earth are people of color.
You have to do the math. NSM 200 is real. Anti-immigrant, hate groups do desire a radical depopulation agenda against people of color too. Therefore, the film implies that mostly poor people should have fewer children as wealthy people in the industrialized world have less children now. That agenda is wrong as it violates a woman's human autonomy. So, the documentary is filled with sophisticated deception.
Days ago was the Birthday of another legend. She is not here physically, but her legacy lives on as heroic singer. Her journey in life's road has been rough. We know of the stories. Books, an episode from Unsung that I watched, and other sources documented her valleys. Yet, she was a kind soul who wanted love and respect as an equal human being. Her sound magnificently flourished despite the pain that she had experienced in her life. Tammi Terrell was an icon of Motown music, and her wit plus strength were admirable. Every song from her was like a pure exercise of talent. One of her best friends was Marvin Gaye. Their chemistry as friends was undeniable. He was her support and vice versa. When Marvin Gaye was very shy back in the 1960's, Tammi Terrell inspired him to be more expressive with his personality. Tammi Terrell was from the streets of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is home to many soul singing legends then and now. She went into Germantown High School in Philadelphia. She sang duets with Marvin Gaye and made solo records. Your Precious Love is one of the great records from her. If This World Were Mine was another one of her classics too. Tammi Terrell was engaged to a real man named Dr. Ernest Garrett, who was a doctor. She passed away in 1970 of brain cancer at the age of 24 years old. Marvin Gaye, or his close friend, never gotten over her passing. Marvin Gaye was a real friend to her. Tammi's life signified the beauty of music, and how we have to do our part in treating our neighbors as ourselves. Tammi Terrell was a nice, gentle soul who only wanted peace and love.
Rest in Power Sister Tammi Terrell.
