Patrick Moore (Website | twitter | Book | Key Book) was a founding member of Greenpeace and served as past chairman of the Greenpeace Foundation, a director of Greenpeace International, and chairman of Greenpeace Canada.
His successful environmental campaigns opposed atmospheric nuclear testing, industrial-scale whaling, and the brutal hunting of harp and hooded seal pups.
But he left Greenpeace in 1986 as the organization was transforming from an organization dedicated to saving civilization to one dedicated to destroying it. With the influx of neo-Marxist ideas and activists, Greenpeace began campaigning to limit illogical human behavior. Non-scientific And it is detrimental to human flourishing. The environmental movement has shifted to see humans not as stewards of the planet, but as a threat and a virus to the world.
The mass psychosis over carbon dioxide (an essential nutrient without which plants (and therefore all higher life forms) could not exist) is one example of what is wrong with the modern environmental movement. The uproar over polar bears (whose population is exploding because hunting has been halted) is another.
Patrick Moore outlines a better alternative, arguing for the need to restore scientific rigor. Environmentalist-led folly It will be covered up.
