It's always good to have people question the present sacrements and enviromental solutions for our overconsumption of the natural resources.
But it isn't that well done. I would presume that his budget wasn't so big as the billionaires to state his ideas in this documentary.
The criticism that he gives no solutions is not fair, because these are not easily found when overpopulation and the lifestyle of a majority of the inhabitants of the first world countries with a gigantic carbon footprint are the source of the problem.
Who is willing to really alter their way of life?
And that's a really inconvenient truth.
The biggest flaw in this film was excluding a discussion of the obvious solution to the problem...Nuclear power. The gen 3 reactors currently in operation are far safer than their earlier predecessors, and future gen 4 reactors should be capable of operating without generating radioactive waste and with zero melt down risk. Gen 4 reactors are projected to be commercial viable as early as 2030. Conversely, the film did an excellent job of demonstrating the folly and impracticality of "green technologies" such as solar and wind.
I can see greenies being very upset with this documentary - but by no means is it a fossil fuels lobby piece. It's an eye-opening look at Big Green and their hidden secret that renewables like solar, wind turbines, biomass fuel and mega battery storage is actually worse for the earth that Big Coal and Big Oil. Don't be blinded in thinking that today's big renewables are actually going to save us, because they clearly aren't. The bad thing is that this documentary does not offer any solutions beyond depopulating the earth.
We've been had. This film shows the lies and the fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, and especially, "biomass" are "clean" energy. It's a bitter pill for a lot of people to swallow.
This film gores, no pun intended, many sacred cows, including the most outspoken (and wealthy) environmental activists. Guess who their best friends are? Several well-known organizations are taken down.
I always knew that people back in the 70s were right: We have to use less...we have to live more in harmony with nature...we have to conserve. We have to have fewer children. We live on a planet with finite resources. We cannot continue boundless growth.
My one quibble with the film is that it does not discuss nuclear energy.

Every single human needs to watch this movie! The movie is full of information. Thank you for making a movie that gives us eyes to see parts we miss otherwise. Thank you for making us think deeper. Humans, especially in the more developed countries need to cut down on over consumption of everything, EVERYTHING! Water, gas, electricity, paper etc.
May the wisdom spread!

Narrator: The takeover of the environmental movement by capitalism is now complete. Environmentalists are no longer resisting those with the profit motive, they're collaborating with them.
