Dr. Patrick Moore's Defender
If you need a fabulist claiming to be a former founder or co-founder of Greenpeace to bash solar power and wind power AND Greenpeace... or say that Monsanto’s toxic herbicide Roundup is safe to drink, or genetically modified "Golden Rice" is safe to eat, or nuclear power is safe. period...or climate change is a manufactured crisis; or releasing all of the carbon from the Canadian Tar Sands is not Game Over for our precious planet - Look no further than Dr. Patrick Moore. He’s not stupid. He’s not an idiot. He’s just an All Purpose Craven Corporate Shill (who wouldn't dare drink a glass of glyphosate - even after insisting that it's safe to drink a whole freaking quart of it.).
After watching the Canal+ Moore Implosion Video - I started reviewing videos & became increasing horrified by watching someone who actually seems to have earned the description of evil genius. So please watch my short video revealing dimensions of Moore with which you may be unfamiliar - And please follow me below the jump to meet the angelic fairy princess avatar (sock puppet?) that defends Moore in the comments section of my video - and whose voice sounds remarkably like Moore's.
By now I imagine most everyone in the Daily Kos community has seen one of the numerous clones of the Canal+ video of Dr. Patrick Moore asserting that it's safe to drink a quart of glyphosate and then refusing to drink a glass of it when offered. Now imagine Dr. Moore stomping away from the Canal+ interview - returning to home and computer and watching the barrage of videos documenting a moment he would love to erase - if he only could.
Even if Patrick Moore were to chant "I'm not an idiot" for 50 days and 50 nights he still couldn't change the fact that he's been exposed as a despicable, lying shill for some of the most destructive forces and projects on the face of our precious planet.
Does anyone doubt that there's a very good chance, that Dr. Moore may well have called on
W_NG to come to his defense?
W NG says:
"Dr Patrick Moore was correct. Roundup is scientifically-safe, practically non-toxic, will cause NO harm, will NOT cause cancer, and will NOT cause irreversible damage if consumed orally."
Patrick Moore is a Paid Spokesperson for the Nuclear Industry
In April 2006, the Nuclear Energy Institute, the principal lobby for the nuclear industry, launched the Clean And Safe Energy Coalition and installed former Bush Administration EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman and Mr. Moore as its co-chairs. The Clean and Safe Energy Coalition was part of a public relations project spearheaded by the public relations giant Hill & Knowlton as part of its estimated $8 million contract with the nuclear industry

Patrick Moore Does Not Represent Greenpeace
For more than 20 years, Mr. Moore has been a paid spokesman for a variety of polluting industries, including the timber, mining, chemical and the aquaculture industries. Most of these industries hired Mr. Moore only after becoming the focus of a Greenpeace campaign to improve their environmental performance. Mr. Moore has now worked for polluters for far longer than he ever worked for Greenpeace. Greenpeace opposes the use of nuclear energy because it is a dangerous and expensive distraction from real solutions to climate change.

Patrick Moore Did Not Found Greenpeace
Patrick Moore frequently portrays himself as a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace, and many news outlets have repeated this characterization. Although Mr. Moore played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years, he did not found Greenpeace. Phil Cotes, Irving Stowe, and Jim Bohlen founded Greenpeace in 1970. Patrick Moore applied for a berth on the Phyllis Cormack in March, 1971 after the organization had already been in existence for a year.
