Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore says there is no proof global warming is caused by humans, but it is likely enough that the world should turn to nuclear power - a concept tied closely to the underground nuclear testing his former environmental group formed to oppose. The chemistry of the atmosphere is changing, and there is a high-enough risk that "true believers" like Al Gore are right that world economies need to wean themselves off fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gases, he said.

Sounds like Newt jumped on board a sinking ship!

Classic. It isn’t broken, but they’re going to fix it anyway.

Why is this Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore in the news so much lately with this ancient news? Is he on a book tour?

Hey Newt, how’s that “Contract with America” thing working for ya? Small wonder the Republicans are a party in decline.

I love that Andrea Shipley pulled the "Big Oil Card" and that was pretty much her only arguement:
His critics, like Andrea Shipley, executive director of the Snake River Alliance, say he has simply sold out.
"The only reason Patrick Moore is backing something as unsafe and risky as nuclear power is he is being paid by the nuclear industry to do so," Shipley said.

Wow, an environmentalist who has a clue. I am impressed.

He should sue her for defamation.

Patrick Moore = One Of The Good Guys,
Way before being "Green" meant being a terrorist with no convictions, no integrity, and no honour.

Newt is jumping aboard a rising star as the dim will take on American values, with the MSM and blogs portraying Pubbies as wacko extremists for the next eight years while #41’s child is groomed for #44...

Patrick Moore will wake up to a horses head in his bed one day....
Only if it a simulated horse head made of "locally grown" organic soy from an organic farmer who uses "sustainable" farming practices.

“... nuclear power - a concept tied closely to the underground nuclear testing his former environmental group formed to oppose.”
That’s like saying “diesel power — a concept tied closely to Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bombs ....”

If I remember right, Moore is the one that complained when the Soviet Union started to fall, the Che’s started showing up at Greenpeace offices looking for jobs.

He’s right, but for the wrong reason. We should emphasize nuclear power to rid dependence on foreign oil (and thus, dependence on terrorist sympathizers).
