Cute story about one of your favorite deniers Pesticide drinks for thee but not for me Patrick Moore, the climate denialist who falsely claims to have helped found Greenpeace, most recently offered his expertise to deny any health risks associated with glyphosate. Embedding the video didn't work, so here's the link to it, and key dialog below: Moore: you can drink a whole quart of it [glyphosate] and it won't hurt you. Interviewer: You want to drink some? We have some here. Moore: I'd be happy to, actually. Not, not really, but... Interviewer: Not really? Moore: I know it wouldn't hurt me. Interviewer: If you say so I have some glyphosate... Moore: I'm not stupid. (cross-talk) Interviewer: So it's dangerous, right? Moore: People try to commit suicide with it and fail fairly regularly. Interviewer: Let's tell the truth, it's dangerous. Moore: It's not dangerous to humans, no it's not. Interviewer: So you are ready to drink one glass of glyphosate? Moore: No I'm not an idiot. Shortly afterwards, Moore cuts off the interview and walks away. Funny but also sad that an old man like that is so ready to lie. Drinking glyphosate is something that's okay for other people, but he's not stupid enough to actually believe the things he's saying. I wonder if he continues to use the "you can drink it" line in contexts where he can't be challenged with a glass. rabett.blogspot.com
