I am not a Moore fan and have only watched of one of his other movies (sicko?). I find he is sloppy and plays very loose with information he presents as facts.
I did watch this movie because of this thread and find myself not disagreeing with the overall message of the movie.
Now, I am a rabid, wacko environmentalist and have been working on the definitive solution to CO2 emissions as part of my Fired life. I am also capitalist by nature.
This movie is pretty sloppy, but has exposed some of the bad judgements (Biomass) by the environmental leaders. I have no doubt that various big companies have joined forces with environmental leaders to promote their own agenda (profits).
The point Moore did not make and should have made is this. Today, right now, we have significant (record!) amounts of Green energy produced around the world everyday. And we are bringing more green energy online.
But, the CO2 numbers tell a different story. The CO2 numbers (Co2.earth) show the rate of CO2 emissions to be increasing. Not constant, but accelerating. Moore claims that the environmental group policies are not being effective and these CO2 data support that conclusion.
The human desire to live a wealthier lifestyle is causing (IMO) demand for energy to increase faster than green energy is being deployed. The difference is being met by increased fossil fuel consumption.
I don't see any trends in place to reverse the increasing demand for more energy. Clearly, this demand for more energy is increasing faster than green energy is being increased.
Which I think is a big part for Moore's reasoning for this movie.
