"The problem with your approach is it's far too black and white. Your negative point of view toward Patrick Moore seems to rest on one assumption "Logging companies are evil and cannot under any circumstances work with an environmentalist to protect the forests". Further, any environmentalist who participates in this approach is automatically categorized as "manipulated and unworthy of listening to". Patrick Moore was there to witness the transformation of the organization he started. No doubt he could have lived wealthy for years spinning out some green anti-business garbage books. Therefore, I doubt he took the route he did for nefarious personal interests. More likely, he took the route he did through careful reflection and a belief the organization he founded had lost its way." I visited Northern California several times over the past 20 years. Latest a year ago. The clear cutting and the resulting environmental damage that the logging companies have done are enough to make me suspicious of logging companies in general and their spokesmen in particular.
