Great new movie with Prog soundtrack

Something tells me the soundtrack isn't really why you wanted people to go see this piece of propaganda.

You could do a lot better at affirming those views than to watch a film full of strawmen, misrepresentations and erroneous, outdated information. Most of the accusations it throws at renewable energy sources only hold when you pretend that no technological developments have happened in these sectors in the past decade, and its smearing of public figures in the environmental movement such as Bill McKibben (who contrary to what the film says has never accepted a dollar in corporate donations and has spoken out against biomass energy since at least 2016) is completely unfair. Here is a point-by-point rebuttal of the entire movie, here are a few condensed versions.

Population growth rates are already declining on a worldwide scale, and UN projections predict that the world's population might peak by the next century. Of course, if you think the West should contribute to the improvement of living standards, education and women's rights in the third world, that would definitely help combat overpopulation as well. But to put this in the context of climate change, in practice shifting the blame, or at least the responsibility, on the part of the world which has contributed the least to the problem (but will suffer the most severely because of it), strikes me as extremely cynical and hypocritical. I don't necessarily mean to lump you in the same category, but I can't shake off the impression that a lot of wealthy white people are eager to point to a film like this and say "them darn brown people over there just need to be breedin' less" as a means of shutting down any environmental proposal that involves even modest changes in their own ways of life.

This is far from a 'Great' movie. (See comments above)

It's been touted as some sort of Michael Moore film but his involvement is dubious at best.
