Greenpeace co-founder says there is no proof climate change is man-made, compares the movement to a “religious cult”

One of the co-founders of
Greenpeace, Patrick Moore (who has since left the group), had some
interesting things to say last week, including the claim that there is no proof that climate change is man-made:

A co-founder
of Greenpeace told lawmakers there is no evidence man is contributing
to climate change, and said he left the group when it became more
interested in politics than the environment.

Patrick
Moore, a Canadian ecologist and business consultant who was a member of
Greenpeace from 1971-86, told members of the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee environmental groups like the one he helped
establish use faulty computer models and scare tactics in promoting
claims man-made gases are heating up the planet.

“There is no
scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the
dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the
past 100 years,” he said.

Even if the
planet is warming up, Moore claimed it would not be calamitous for men,
which he described as a “subtropical species.”
