“I love nature and people are part of nature – all people and all living things. There are at least as many positive trends in the world as there are negative ones. We are no more headed for doomsday than we are for nirvana,” explains Dr. Patrick Moore.
Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris are joined this week by Dr. Patrick Moore, a leader in the international environmental field for over 30 years. With a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of British Columbia, Dr. Moore is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of Greenpeace International. Patrick was a driving force shaping policy and direction while Greenpeace became the world’s largest environmental activist organization.
Dr. Moore left Greenpeace when he realized that they had been taken over by extreme leftists more interested in imposing a Marxist ideology on the West, than in protecting the environment. In contrast to today’s Greenpeace, Dr. Moore is a practical environmentalist, bringing real science and common sense to the energy and environment debate. He sees human beings as a part of nature and our carbon dioxide emissions as a huge benefit. Speaking at 2019 seminars in Montreal and Toronto, Dr. Moore showed a slide that said:
Our CO2 Emissions have Reversed the 150 million-Year Decline
in CO2 and Restored a Balance to the Global Carbon Cycle.
We have saved Life on Earth from an Early Demise.
Join Patrick, Jay, and Tom in this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story to learn about the origins of Greenpeace, their early successes, and where they went wrong.
