Subject aside, Patrick Moore is simply not a credible person.
He is a fullblown professional greenwashing consultant, and has been for the last 3 decades.
(Here’s his
PR company, “GreenSpirit Strategies”.)

From factory farming, to clear cutting, to cancerous toxic chemicals. He’s your man, if you want to make it seem like your operation is green when it’s not.
