<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Greenpeace formally disavows any connection to industry shill Patrick Moore]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by David Bradish http://www.grist.org/article/no-moore/ Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:46:43 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/no-moore/1 You can't debate the issues...

so you have to attack someone's credibility. Great job.

This post makes sense. Only people who DON'T work in the nuclear industry are the only people who can give an honest opinion and provide real facts. Got it.

Oh wait. What about other experts who speak on behalf of their professions like environmentalists and climatologists? I know of a few experts who make great money in those professions. Yet according to your logic, we can't believe what they say because they make money as well. Brilliant logic.

Just so people know, I work for the Nuclear Energy Institute.

Greenpeace disowned him.

The only reason the nuclear industry and others hired him was because he worked for Greenpeace. All he does lend the NEI and others false environmental credibility in public relations. He is no expert on nuclear energy.

you'll be saying similar things about Dr. Jerry Franklin. In 3 years you'll be saying the the Bush Administraion "destroyed" our forests because he didn't do anything but burn them up. In those three years, the pendulum will be hurtling past the midway point and there will be plenty of money for forest restoration as we'll begin another war: The War on Drought. The War to end all forests. "Saving the forests by burning them up" stinks of Vietnam-Era rhetoric.

Dr. Franklin is no dummy, as the nation's foremost expert on forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest, he's going to go where all the money is. Restoration forestry is the cutting edge but, today's Americans just aren't progressive enough in their thinking, yet, to allow scientifically-sound forest management in their National Forests. Soon, but probably not soon enough.

How many MORE dead trees and scorched earth can people ignore until they realized they sacrificed too much green canopy, wildlife habitat and clean water?

Once again, uncontrolled fire is NEVER good!

In the future, please try to make your comments relevant to the subject of the post. We all realize that you feel strongly about forestry management, but that's no reason to comment about it on unrelated posts.

Democratic debate is the last thing you expect from greenpeace. Can they please change their name to redwar, as this is how they apparently see the world ?  

Let's think in terms of eco-dollars.

The topic is about former eco's now seeing the scientific and economic reality. You folks have a long history of killing the messenger instead of the message. While I don't buy into everything Moore says, I fear that you are doing the same to Dr. Franklin. You have repeatedly ignored his abrupt turnabout in scientific strategy to restore over-protected forests. You'd surely like to lump him in with Moore as a "heretic". Sorry that his expertise doesn't fit into your style of "ecology", Dave.

Now if you applied the same logic to Obama, he wouldn't even be a Senator because of his support for corn ethanol.

Not on topic? PSSSHAW!
