It started when he unveiled his debut documentary “Roger and Me” and never let up – despite creating a ream of fact-challenged films, including the abominable 2018 “documentary” “Fahrenheit 11/9.” Until now. Moore’s newest project, “Planet of the Humans,” is a dire look at climate change and the so-called heroes trying to save the planet. Falling under the banner is Al Gore, considered an enviro-prophet second only to Greta Thunberg by most global warming advocates. Not in Moore’s film, a project which excoriates the green movement. And that’s a key reason why some on the Left are all too eager to cancel “Humans.” Literally. The most prominent “Humans” denier is Josh Fox. The Oscar-nominated director of “Gasland” declared war on “Planet of the Humans” recently on social media. Fox didn’t stop there. Fox, whose work has come under heavy fire from documentary filmmaker Phelim McAleer, crafted a petition to force YouTube to remove “Humans” from the platform. The film debuted for free late last month on the video service, and it’s racked up more than five million views since then. Fox teamed with The Nation, which called Moore the “new flack for oil and gas” in blasting the film: Because the film is so dangerous, so wildly off-track and full of misinformation, fossil fuel industry taking points, and unfounded, wacky statements you could be forgiven for thinking it was created by Breitbart News or Steve Bannon and not the erstwhile bastion of progressive bombast that is Michael Moore. Several high profile liberals, including climate scientist Michael Mann and Naomi Klein, signed Fox’s petition to “retract” the film as it currently stands. Adding insult to injury? Moore must apologize for letting it loose on the unsuspecting planet. Among the petition signees include documentary filmmakers Steve Liptay and Gregory King. Yes, Moore’s fellow artists want to ban a film with an opposing point of view. YouTube, which happily yanks down content by medical professionals sharing contrarian pandemic views, hasn’t yielded to the woke mob. Yet.
