Patrick Moore was in South Africa recently on a whirl wind tour touting nuclear as the only solution to our power shortages . . .

I attended one of his presentations and found his use of statistics very one sided and narrow (climate change is not only about carbon output) and I would have thought as an ecologist he would understand the interconnectedness of ‘things’. What I disliked the most about his presentations was his continuous need to slander the greenies to make himself seem so right. If he was so keen to move from the “politics of confrontation” to the “politics of consensus” and if he wanted to be “fighting for something” rather than against something, then perhaps he needs to consider remaining consistent and leave Greenpeace and the anti-nuclear pundits and the greenies alone and rather work on what he is fighting for.

The press release from Earthlife Africa below says much more about the character of Dr Patrick Moore, including the questioning of hie co-founder status of Greenpeace which he shouts out about all over the world. If he has such issues with Greenpeace, then why proclaim so loudly that you were once a part of it?

I believe it is time Dr Moore moved on and honestly faced up to who he is now:- a pro nuclear lobbyist, with little doubt, paid handsomely by the Nuclear Industry. Lets not be deceived by loud claims of environmental friendliness, the great-green-gravy-train it seems has started rolling.

Hi everybody - I have been gone for while, but I am back . . .

I do like what Andreas from The Antidote has to say about Patrick Moore and his Nuclear Energy talks in South Africa in March.

People do change their views through the years as they are supposed to grow older and wiser, but doing an about turn quite as dramatically as Patrick Moore is fairly unusual and one must approach his current views with a pinch of salt. We do need to remember who is paying Moore’s salary at the moment. . . the Nuclear Power Industry.

Let the doctor have his say, and I will even approach the talk with an open mindedness, BUT not once will I forget that $$$$ can corrupt and disinformation is rife all across the world and the green revolution is in the hot seat.
