They gave Penn of Penn & Teller a radio show earlier this year, and it’s fantastic. Last week he had Patrick Moore, founder of Greenpeace, on for the entire show. Suzan and I listened to the podcast last night as Mr. Moore explained why he left Greenpeace.
In short: his organization got hijacked by liberal nuts that ignore science in the name of pushing their social agenda. It’s a great discussion of politics, nuclear power, the confusion over global warming and how scientists often loose the argument to movie stars & guitar players because they’re not great communicators.
It’s everything I’ve been thinking about the environmental movement the past few years … that it’s impossible to have a proper adiscussion about what’s wrong & how to fix it when nobody wants to talk about the real problem (that’s my damn engineering side talking again).
Take 40 minutes and listen to the show, no matter what you think about environmental policy. It’s an eye opener.
