I’m still way behind on this issue – how can a gas needed for the cycle of life between plants and animals be classed a pollutant?

“Dr. Patrick Moore, who was one of the original founders of Greenpeace who left the organization in disgust of their current political zealotry…”
Dr. Moore left Greenpeace in 1986, so what does his leaving 30 years ago have to do with Greenpeace’s current positions? In fact, he himself said he left over their position on chlorine and PVC, among other chemicals – not over CO2 or climate change: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120882720657033391

I assume Anthony meant current at the time zealotry. The Zealotry that has continued ever since in many changing flavours..

I did not see a political angle in his reasons for leaving. It was because he felt they were not using enough science in making their decisions. If there is a political angle in opposing chlorine and PVC, I’m all ears.

Great lecture except one statement: “…by mid-century we will have to feed 8 to 10 billion people.”
Who is this “we” that “must” feed 8-10 billion?” Does this childish socialist political thinking need to wriggle into every science discussion? Let’s overcome the emotionalism instead of pandering to the grandiose. Leave it out.
