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 FUCK SIERRA CLUB

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/

    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.
