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 wasto show that those narratives are "just a big hoax."
Language is manipulated to invoke negativity, fear, and compliance in order for proponents of environmental catastrophes to push their narratives, Moore said.
"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."

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