Michael Moore Presents: Planet of the Humans | Full Documentary | Directed by Jeff Gibbs
Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late.
Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue? Because that would be bad for profits, bad for business. Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green” illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars?
No amount of batteries are going to save us, warns director Jeff Gibbs (lifelong environmentalist and co-producer of “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine"). This urgent, must-see movie, a full-frontal assault on our sacred cows, is guaranteed to generate anger, debate, and, hopefully, a willingness to see our survival in a new way—before it’s too late.
Featuring: Al Gore, Bill McKibben, Richard Branson, Robert F Kennedy Jr., Michael Bloomberg, Van Jones, Vinod Khosla, Koch Brothers, Vandana Shiva, General Motors, 350.org, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, Nature Conservancy, Elon Musk, Tesla.
Music by: Radiohead, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Blank & Jones, If These Trees Could Talk, Valentina Lisitsa, Culprit 1, Patrick O’hearn, The Torquays, Nigel Stanford, and many more.

Weekly PBSO Update - 04-21-20 - District 14 - City of Lake Worth Beach
Hopefully everyone is doing as well as can be expected. Here are a few updates from your local PBSO District:
· Please encourage friends and neighbors to go online and complete their census forms. I did mine in about ten minutes. You do not have to have the code that was mailed out. These census numbers will be here for ten years and affect many parts of life.
· Our district has no personnel out with Covid 19 or awaiting test results.
· The food distribution at the CRA - Hatch Center is going well. I believe they are giving food to 700 + families per week in LWB. The volunteers have been awesome.
· Social distancing continues to look good in the city.
· Last week’s crime report was about the same as the week before – busy. Calls for service are up due to the pandemic and the unrelated crime. Auto burglaries and robberies to persons continued to be a problem. Half of the robberies were drug related. Other violent crime was down and arrests were up for the week. We made two nice arrests for auto theft using the cameras and tag readers.
Hang in there. I am starting to hear some positive news on the virus. Hopefully we will be able to return to somewhat normal life in the near future. Please continue to social distance, be patient and kind.
Yours in service,
Captain Todd Baer
