Summary
In the aftermath of Max Blumenthal's explosive investigative piece about the green billionaires and their allies who tried to suppress "Planet of the Humans," Michael Moore welcomes back director Jeff Gibbs and producer Ozzie Zehner for their first reactions to this bombshell report. They also discuss why we have been unable to cut our reliance on fossil fuels, how economic growth is killing us, and why climate change is a negative symptom of a larger environmental crisis that we've been failing to address with a holistic approach due to our society's addiction to the profit motive. Additionally, they discuss how a Biden administration should address our planetary emergency, how to improve and expand upon the current Green New Deals that have been proposed and why growth, consumption and capitalism are at the heart of the “climate” problem.
