All of this is so pointless while the developing world, where most new emissions come from continue business as usual.
The co-founder of Greenpeace says in his new book that alleged environmental catastrophes and threats are based on subjects that are either invisible or extremely remote in order to create fear, forcing people to rely on experts to tell them the truth.
"It dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or extremely remote, like polar bears and coral reefs," wrote Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, in his book titled "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom."
"Thus, most people have no way of determining the truth of these claims of alleged catastrophes and doomsday threats. Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists—all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject—to tell them the truth."
Moore, also a senior fellow with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, said he left Greenpeace after 15 years when he realized the movement had taken "a sharp turn to the political left."
During a webinar on May 20, he said the main purpose of writing the book was
Language is manipulated to invoke negativity, fear, and compliance in order for proponents of environmental catastrophes to push their narratives
"A classic example of propaganda is 'dirty oil,'" he noted. "That's how we grow our food—in dirt. So what's wrong with dirty? But they're not using it to mean dirt as in soil. They're using it to mean 'dirty rotten scoundrel.' In other words, it's purely an epithet—a negative epithet."

Greenpeace makes a lot of money by scaring people.

True .... and part of the reason this so-founder left it was to expose the lies and funds used for negative purposes
Patrick Moore is very practical.

The percentage of humans living in extreme poverty has decreased from 40% to less than 10% over the last 40 years as the developing world has harnessed low cost and reliable energy, aka hydrocarbons
Yes CO2 emissions are contributing to modest warming of the planet, but low cost reliable energy enables us to master our climate. Eliminating hydrocarbons to "save the environment" will make the environment unlivable for all 8 billion humans, as it was for the bulk of humanity's existence.
