Read our privacy policy Michael Moore’s new documentary Planet of the Humans has sparked controversy, with climate experts branding it as “dangerous”, “absurd” and “shockingly misleading”. Director and activist Josh Fox, who made the documentary Gasland, wrote a letter urging the removal of the “shockingly misleading and absurd” film. He tweeted: “A multi-millionaire many many many times over, @mmflint is now attacking environmental heroes like @billmckibben, @VanJones68 and even local organisers like the great Nathan Sooy of PA. Michael Mann, a climate scientist who signed Fox’s letter, said Planet of the Humans includes “various distortions, half-truths and lies” and that the filmmakers “have done a grave disservice to us and the planet by promoting climate change inactivist tropes and talking points”.
