This video doesn't get posted enough--I heard about it months ago but only just now watched it.

They're cutting down all the trees to burn as fuel.

Also this article by Max Blumenthal that debunks a bunch of shitty astroturfed criticisms about the film https://thegrayzone.com/2020/09/07/green-billionaires-planet-of-the-humans/

    Eventually I'll get around to watching this.

    I imagine its something like, "We need to do something now. Here's shit we can be doing now. Don't wait for some technological quick fix to magically appear."

      Be aware that this movie has misinformation in it. Watch it if you want to but read or watch some critiques of it also

            The 8% solar panels that are "outdated" are the same efficiency as the roof ones Tesla is selling this year. It's in the GrayZone link above.

            If anything, the old footage just makes the lies and destruction it that much more damning. I'm not sure which scenes you're referring to but I just assume it's that bad OR WORSE in 2020.

        Most of these types of movies are about 50/50 garbage content anyways so I tend towards skepticism even if I agree with the overall message.

      It's that but also "every green movement you ever thought was doing any good is in the pockets of billionaires" and "they're cutting down all the trees to make energy" and "every green technology is a scam". I'm still processing it all.

        Controlled opposition and green washing... that tracks.

        "Cutting down all the trees to make energy" is a new one.

          "Biomass" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass

          Europe especially is importing trees from all over the world. And of course the US is just as bad.

          https://environmentalpaper.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/20201001033236-09068-map.html

          This map seems to leave off a ton of biomass plants that were on the map in the film. Also since the biomass plants qualify as "green" they get free money, the example used in the film being a plant next to daycares and schools that got $11M to fuck up the surrounding lands.
