What do you think about the Green Peace founder calling BS on man-made global warming?

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.

“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/newsite...

“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.”

“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.

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.

<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://w...

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://w...

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.

It seems to me that Moore was actually concerned about the environment. My mother joined NOW until she realized that it was just a bunch of angry old women who hated men. I think Moore was joined Greenpeace until he realized it was just a bunch of angry old women who hated men and also anything not Marxist.

It means that GreenPeace and the rest of the left is busy erasing him from their history, just as greenies try to disappear their wrong prediction. Now Al Gore is just some random guy.

Unlike most of the climate change industry, he has a clue.

St. Paul, Sagebrush?

Now THAT gets a thumbs up!!

It his Third letter, also known as his "lost" letter he writes that the effect of CO2 from fossil fuel consumption is negligible and that global warming is a bunch of crap*.

He actually said "crap". He was a pretty salty old dude.

Moore was neither a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace. He did play s significant role in Greenpeace Canada, but that is the extent of his involvement.

He is not degreed in climate science "Who is Patrick Moore?" http://www.desmogblog.com/patrick-moore

He has lied enough about being Greenpeace founder that all the lame brains connected to him pass on the lie.

Who is Patrick Moore? LOL Another deranged nutjob on the payroll for Big Energy. Just his "credentials" alone makes me disregard any of his testimony.

We've got a real problem here, and idiots like this are hung up on semantics. I can't believe the Senate let him speak. Oh, wait a minute....

I knew a man who was an alcoholic. He changed and was a productive person.

The Apostle Paul oversaw many Christian murders. Yet he changed and was a great follower of God.

Some people change and for the better. Moore is obviously one of them. He is a scientist first and a politician last, it seems. His organization was going political and he jumped ship.

He is not alone.

Quote by Madhav L. Khandekar, UN scientist, a retired Environment Canada scientist: "Unfortunately, the IPCC climate change documents do not provide an objective assessment of the earth's temperature trends and associated climate change….As one of the invited expert reviewers for the 2007 IPCC documents, I have pointed out the flawed review process used by the IPCC scientists in one of my letters. I have also pointed out in my letter that an increasing number of scientists are now questioning the hypothesis of Greenhouse gas induced warming of the earth's surface and suggesting a stronger impact of solar variability and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns on the observed temperature increase than previously believed."

Want another one?

One of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, a social democrat and green activist, decided to author a climate science skeptical book together with geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning. Vahrenholt’s skepticism started when he was asked to review an IPCC report on renewable energy. He found hundreds of errors. When he pointed them out, IPCC officials simply brushed them aside. Stunned, he asked himself, “Is this the way they approached the climate assessment reports?”

Vahrenholt decided to do some digging. His colleague Dr. Lüning also gave him a copy of Andrew Montford’s The Hockey Stick Illusion. He was horrified by the sloppiness and deception he found. Persuaded by Hoffmann & Campe, he and Lüning decided to write the book. Die kalte Sonne cites 800 sources and has over 80 charts and figures. It examines and summarizes the latest science.

Vahrenholt concluded, through his research, that the science of the IPCC (if you can call it that) was mostly political and had been “hyped.”

So don't demean people who take the time to learn the truth. It doesn't make you look good.
