I've ever found another
climate science PhD
who I agree with more
than Mr. Moore.
That's why there are
so many direct quotes !
Ye Editor
Co-founder of Greenpeace,
Patrick Moore, PhD,
was also a former president
of Greenpeace Canada.
Moore appeared
on SiriusXM’s
Breitbart News Tonight
for an interview with
Rebecca Mansour
and Joel Pollak.
“Fear has been used
all through history
to gain control
of people’s minds
and wallets and all else,
and the climate catastrophe
is strictly a fear campaign.”
Moore added
the claim human activity
rather than natural phenomena
is primarily responsible for
Earth’s changing climate
- is also fueled by “guilt” that
“you’re killing your children
because you’re driving them
in your SUV and
emitting carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere.”
Moore also talked about:
(1)
“the green movement
creating stories
that instill fear
in the public”
(2)
“media echo chamber
... repeating it over and over
and over again to everybody,”
(3)
“green politicians
who are buying scientists
with government money
to produce fear for them,
in the form of
scientific-looking
materials”
(4)
“the green businesses,
the rent-seekers,
and the crony capitalists,
who are taking advantage
of massive subsidies,
huge tax write-offs,
and government mandates
requiring their technologies,
to make a fortune on this."
(5)
“And then, of course,
you’ve got the scientists
who are willingly,
they’re basically hooked
on government grants,”
“Most of the scientists
- put it in quotes, ‘scientists’
- who are pushing
this catastrophic theory
are getting paid
by public money."
"Most of what these
so-called scientists
are doing is simply producing
more fear, so that politicians
can use it to control people’s
minds, and get their votes,
because some of the people
are convinced, ‘Oh, this
politician can save my kid
from certain doom.’”
Left-wing activists
continue to claim
there is a:
“97% scientific consensus”
in favor man made warming,
but that number
is a misrepresentation
of an overview of 11,944 papers,
from peer-reviewed journals.
66.4% of those papers
expressed no opinion
on the matter;
the 97% number
refers only
to the minority who did,
and even that is disputed.
The authors of the overview
emailed the papers’
29,083 authors,
but only 4%
of them responded
Many of the authors identified
as endorsing the “consensus”,
later spoke out to say
the overview
had misrepresented
their position.
“It is the biggest lie
since people thought
the Earth was at
the center of the universe."
"This is Galileo-type stuff,”
Moore sid.
“If you remember,
Galileo discovered that
the sun was at the center
of the solar system, and the
Earth revolved around it."
"He was sentenced to death
by the Catholic Church, and
only because he recanted
was he allowed to live
in house arrest,
for the rest of his life.”
“This abomination
that is occurring today
in the climate issue
is the biggest threat
to the Enlightenment
that has occurred
since Galileo."
"Nothing else comes close to it."
"This is as bad a thing
that has happened to science
in the history of science."
"It’s taking over science
with superstition, and a
kind of toxic combination
of religion and political ideology."
"There is no truth to this."
"It is a complete hoax and scam.”
