Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with industry consultant, science activist, and past president of Greenpeace Canada (1971 to 1986), Dr. Patrick Moore. They discuss his time in Greenpeace, the historic timeline of global ice ages and climate change, the clear lies being peddled to promote alarmism, and how the woke left manipulates science (and scientists) to promote a falsely perceived and politically incentivized future catastrophe. Dr. Patrick Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field for more than 45 years. He is a co-founder of Greenpeace and served for nine years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of Greenpeace International. As the leader of many campaigns Dr. Moore was a driving force shaping policy and direction for 15 years while Greenpeace became the world's largest environmental activist organization. In recent years, Dr. Moore has been focused on the promotion of sustainability and consensus building among competing concerns. He was a member of the British Columbia government-appointed Round Table on the Environment and Economy from 1990 - 1994. In 1990, Dr. Moore founded and chaired the BC Carbon Project, a group that worked to develop a common understanding of climate change. In 2021 Dr. Moore published "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom" exposing the fake news and fake science around 11 claims of disaster including climate change, coral reefs, polar bears, plastic, nuclear energy, and more. - Links - 2024 tour details can be found here https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Peterson Academy https://petersonacademy.com/ For Dr. Patrick Moore: On X https://twitter.com/ecosensenow?lang=en “Fake Invisible Catastrophes And Threats of Doom” (Book) https://www.amazon.com/Fake-Invisible-Catastrophes-Threats-Doom-ebook/dp/B08T6FFY6S/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=fake+invisible+catastrophe&qid=1612915229&s=digital-text&sr=1-1

of being skeptical to say the least and unconvinced

0:42.4

of the doomssaying prognostications of the climate

apocalypse mongers but also have been being active in the environmentalist

movement for 50 years.

He was one of the founding members of Greenpeace back when they were working

primarily on anti-nuclear campaigns and on campaigns. on oceans against overfishing. Dr Moore became convinced that the environmentalist organizations as such have been,

were in the process of being taken over by actors whose primary interest was not the green movement in the environmental sense or the peace that Greenpeace once stood for, but more the promotion of a kind of radical

self-interest combined with a hysterical, with the hysterical doom-mongering that's now typical of the

Apocalypse promoters and so so we go through the evidence of climate change and

environmental composition over about a 500 million year period,
