By Patrick Moore Date Posted: 1/1/2007. I admit I may be sensitive because I have a teenage daughter. As a sensible environmentalist, I believe that one answer is to choose renewable, energy efficient materials such as wood. There are many others who have never bought into the climate change conspiracy/crisis, though I do believe that it won’t hurt to re-examine & apply some changes to the way we live & use our planet.The author (second from right) in Maranhão, Brazil, 1995Some people will, when they read this imagine that I’m some right-wing anti-environmentalist. " As sensible environmentalists we can find solutions that balance environmental, social, and economic priorities." After leaving Greenpeace Moore has gone on to become what he calls a sensible environmentalist and explains how Greenpeace and other likeminded organizations have moved away from using science as a basis for their projects.Nice presentation, but I’ve always recognized ‘Gaia’ for what she is….a lesser god-the daughter of Chaos.In a nutshell, today’s environmentalism IS communism like watermelon-green on the outside and red (communist) on the inside.More scientific malpractice occurred when government biologists attempted to plant lynx fur in certain areas to provide an excuse for making those areas off-limits for logging or development. The folks who like sustainability invariably also believe all the leftist propaganda and see the issues as the same when they are easily separated in my mind. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.Nations are reverting openly to self-interest and away from Malthusianism and neoliberalism, which is good for nuclear and bad for renewables.That is all I hoped for in writing it. Fortunately, these scientists were caught, however, no punishment was imposed.The endangered species act is another abuse of environmentalism. I do not nor have I ever believed the rantings of alarmists in any area of life.I have a long record of climate and environmental activism. On many occasions, scientists – experts — reached a consensus on things that were subsequently proven to be false. In my 30s I advocated renewables and successfully helped persuade the Obama administration to invest $90 billion into them. For one, the climate is always changing. We must rely on data to help us make decisions, but history informs us that what was settled science can be much different today. I remained quiet about the climate disinformation campaign because I was afraid of losing friends and funding. The Sensible Environmentalist: It’s Time to Boycott the Boycotts Boycotts have unintended consequences, many of which are harmful to the environment and human health. Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore discusses how we need to look at science and environmentalism together and not just view the sensationalism activism groups show the media. Not only that, the climate scientists purposely installed temperature monitoring sensors in cities, contrary to manufacturers recommendations and good scientific practices, in asphalt-covered parking lots, and other heat sink areas in order to prove their (faulty) hypothesis.
There are two long-term solar cycles that reinforce themselves when in phase and cancel themselves out when out-of-phase. He is a fierce opponent of “pop-environmentalism” who helps organizations address the major issues facing humanity while balancing society and nature. 40:26So much for respect, non judgment, forgiveness, kindness……..That was great. After all, I am as guilty of alarmism as any other environmentalist. Advances in technology make possible and affordable what wasn't possible or affordable 10-20-30 years ago.
