What do you think about the Green Peace founder calling BS on man-made global warming?
“There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,” Mr. Moore said. “Today, we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species."
This was testimony given before the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee. Why won't the liberal media report this? Never mind, I just answered the second question in my question.

John W - I looked over my 181 questions here and there is not a single one related to any man-made global warming scientists much less Patrick Moore. You have anything else?

He has zero credentials in climate science. When it comes to BS about science I would not assume that 200 Nobel laureates in science are the BSers. He being the "founder" of Greenpeace IS clearly BS. http://www.desmogblog.com/patrick-moore
U.S. National Academy of Sciences, 2010: http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12782&page=1 “Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems.” http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=12877 “Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia…Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.” http://www.physics.fsu.edu/awards/NAS/ “The Academy membership is composed of approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates, of whom nearly 200 have won Nobel Prizes. Members and foreign associates of the Academy are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.”
Most climatologists say that he is wrong. http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf
Nevertheless, Greenpeace is a joke. They fought against one of the most important tools against the fight against global warming, nuclear power. And rather than blaming the real cause of global warming, the consumer, they would rather blame the Canadian oil sands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOR38552MJA

<he Apostle Paul oversaw many Christian murders. Yet he changed and was a great follower of God.>
Imagine what the Apostle Paul would have been like if he lived today. He would have been one of the most notorious global warming deniers on Earth, until he suddenly embraced the science, and became the top leader in the fight against global warming. Kind of like Fake Lord Monckton turning into James Hansen.
John W, Don't forget that Greenpeace was also protesting nuclear power. Nuclear power, which emits no CO2. Nuclear power, that makes up a much higher percentage of power in locations like Japan and France. The same nuclear power, that makes the CO2 production in Europe less than that of the US. Thank goodness for the environmentalists, otherwise we would be using a cleaner source of power for more of our power, right???
I think he is taking the approach of trying to address environmental issues that are most pressing and which we can have some positive effect given limited resources.
I guess he doesn't consider climate change to be a pressing issue given an apparent lack of evidence. ____________________________________________________ You know what I find really strange? It's the insistence that Moore was not a co-founder of Greenpeace. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but it's clear the Greenpeace had considered him a founder as recently as February 3, 2007: http://web.archive.org/web/20070203080000/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/about/history/founders
Then, on March 25, 2007, the same web page had been re-written and Moore was no longer a founder: http://web.archive.org/web/20070325101959/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/about/history/founders
So denying Moore was a co-founder is not only wrong, it's very odd.
Just another puppet to fuel "the debate" so your all distracted while the illuminati bloodlines can impose their fascist world government agenda via their minions in power, behind your back. So to answer your question........who cares I don't need a Greenpeace tool to tell me AGW is BS.....I'm sure he got paid to say that as Greenpeace is a bunch of corrupt frauds who are ALL a bunch of hypocrites and mind controlled monkeys begging for fascism regardless of who "blows the whistle". This guy, IMO, is a fraud so I give him ZERO respect despite my stance on AGW being a mass religious cult movement.
