![]() “Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore has angered environmentalist groups after saying climate change is ‘not caused by humans’ and there is ‘no scientific proof’ to back global warming alarmism. ... ‘There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,’ he told a US Senate Committee. ‘If there were such a proof, it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.’... The Greenpeace co-founder argued the increase in atmospheric temperature on the earth’s surface goes back to the Ice Age when C02 was ‘10 times higher than today, yet human life flourished’ at this time. ... Moore co-founded the environmental activist group as a PhD student in ecology in 1971. He left Greenpeace in 1986 after the group became more interested in ‘politics’ than science. ‘After 15 years in the top committee I had to leave as Greenpeace took a sharp turn to the political left, and began to adopt policies that I could not accept from my scientific perspective,’ he said. ‘Climate change was not an issue when I abandoned Greenpeace, but it certainly is now.’” (“Greenpeace Co-founder,” The Independent, U.K., Feb. 28, 2014) Comments are closed.
