  1. Kate, it is this type of exposure to some climate sanity that has kept me coming back to this site for over a decade now.
    Thank you.

  2. Should be required viewing by every school aged person forced to hear the other side.
    Clearly and concisely shows some of the arguments against anthropocentric CO2 as the primary climate driver and so much more.

  3. What sane, logical person could watch that and believe in man-made global warming?
    In other words, belief in global warming is a sign of illogical insanity.

  5. Great speech, Patrick, but you will never convince the AGW crowd and their lying supporters as there is too much money to be made by them from stupid governments. Ontario’s wind and solar is just one example. Our energy costs per household have risen $30 this month alone and will rise 42% in the next 5 years purely because of Wynne and her Liberals. Check your time of use charge for her “global adjustment” cost that covers the loss between what Ontario power costs and what we sell it for to our manufacturing competitors, the US states and Quebec.

  7. I had the privilege of hearing Patrick Moore speak and chat with him at a dinner afterward. His positions on global warming, energy, golden rice, forestry, the use of wood products and fish farming (he’s in favour of it) are all extremely well thought out and researched. He would be anathema to the CBC and the fruit-fly idiot they promote. The fact that he cannot get wider exposure in the lame stream media says a lot about the intellectual poverty and inertia of modern journalism. We’re fighting enviro-religious dogma.

  8. While I agree with Patrick (except for buying silly life insurance) I realize that his speech will have little or no effect on the general population. I am more and more convinced that what we are facing is not logic or emotion but rather Good vs Evil in the spiritual realm. The anti-humans on our political left use every Satanic trick known to mankind to achieve their satanic ends. HOWEVER the political right has also bought into much of the Satanic ‘wisdom’ and thus are in large part ineffective in countering the leftist assertions.

  9. I interviewed Patrick back in my journo days in Sask when he was still with Greenpeace. (God, I’m old) I was prepared for a loon, but was surprised by his common sense. Back then, of course, Greenpeace was still in touch with reality. It didn’t surprise me too much when years later he broke with them. I used to see co-founder Bob Hunter on CityTV in Toronto all the time. And he hadn’t changed a bit.

  10. Yes, Mr.Moore makes strong arguments. But it falls on deaf ears in the media. The media party are trying to shame Harper and the CPC into tax its citizens because of a non hinging agreement between China and Obumbles.

  11. Knew Patrick in his young days in Holberg and Winter Harbour. I was Resident Forester in Holberg. Patrick and his gang were chasing whaling ships out of Winter Harbour. I would argue with Patrick in the Scarlet Ibis Pub about non-whaling issues until I was blue in the face. Like to think I had some small roll in bringing him to sanity.

  13. Dave Gyton on November 16, 2014 12:15 PM – Wow, another Holberger on SDA! I was at the radar station. The Scarlet Ibis pub still stands and I heard it was for sale – but I won’t venture across the Holberg “road” to check it out. Two bridges washed out in the recent rains, by the way, so climate has not changed in Holberg!
    Good talk by Patrick Moore and I would love to see him debate Gore or Suzuki, not that they would ever agree to having their nonsense debunked.

  14. Dave, I had a similar experience with Patrick. I spent some time with him at a seminar leading up to the CORE negotiations where it was amusing to see former devout followers of his former organization painfully react to his pro forestry positions and worse, sitting with foresters and drinking. Shortly after that, I tried to get him interested in jumping on the CAGW skeptic cause (I was one of the first wave of signatories of the Oregon Petition – using my US Address) and he seemed to be satisfied that the knowledge was sufficient (settled?) in those days. Whatever changed his mind, he is doing some good. Too bad he isn’t speaking to the unconverted.

  16. Yeah well, I thought I wuz purty well informed….now I got me some new, sharper arrows in my quiver.
    Basically just 30 minutes including his verbal resume….OUTSTANDING!

  17. Recall you in Port McNeil, John.
    I have sent Patrick’s talk on to Bill Dumont, John. No comment as yet.
    ABCFP AGM in Nanaimo this year, just down the road from where I now live, but I will not attend. Too much Global Warming discussion for my now short fuse.
    FYI,my email address is my name.

  18. What greenpeace and it’s associate organizations fail to understand is the climate changes by itself. Which has been happening since the earth was a big ball of molten rock and the other half of the reason why the climate changes by itself is because of the sun’s unpredictable solar activity.
    Nuff Said

  19. @Terry G
    Terry they fully understand that climate changes by itself, but there is no money in that.

  20. It’s the money, folks. That’s all it has ever been and that’s all it will ever be.
    As long as David Suzuki and his ilk can make da’ money from pushing their environmentalism agenda, they will continue to push it and hard.
    They will denigrate anyone who threatens their source of money.
    Like one person said a long time ago, the love of money is the foundation for all kinds of evil.

  21. Down to earth, sensible rebutal of the AGW prpoganda. To bad those on that side of that insanity are incapable or unwilling to hear his common sense rebutals of their ideology.
