The film, Planet of the Humans, was released on the eve of Earth Day last week by its producer, Michael Moore, the baseball cap-wearing documentarian known for Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
Planet of the Humans has provoked a furious reaction from scientists and campaigners, however, who have called for it be taken down.
Describing itself as a “full-frontal assault on our sacred cows”, the film argues that electric cars and solar energy are unreliable and rely upon fossil fuels to function.
It also attacks figures including Al Gore for bolstering corporations that push flawed technologies over real solutions to the climate crisis.
