Angry Kid, A Greenpeace Global Warming Video - "In a threatening tone, this angry young kid implies that man-made global warming theory is beyond dispute, a totally bogus assertion. Why does the environmental left so often resort to false claims?
Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, expressed the thoughts below after leaving the organization due to his belief that the modern environmental movement has become a bastion of far-left extremism. When the Soviet Union collapsed, fears of a nuclear holocaust diminished. Looking for a new cause, anti-war activists flooded into the environmental movement, bringing with them their strident pro-Marist, pro-Sandinista and anti-capitalist views of the world. Dr. Moore writes:
- “Since its founding in the late 1960s, the modern environmental movement has created a vision that was international in scope and had room for people of all political persuasions.”
“The traditional sharp division between left and right was rendered meaningless by the common desire to protect our life support systems. Truth mattered, and science was respected for the knowledge it brought to the political debate.”
"Now, this broad based vision is challenged by a new philosophy of radical environmentalism. In the name of deep ecology, many environmentalists have taken a sharp turn to the ultra-left, ushering in a mood of extremism and intolerance."
"These factors have combined to contribute to a new variant of the environmental movement that is so extreme that many people, including myself, believe its agenda is a greater threat to the global environment than that posed by the mainstream of society."
