Good article.
BTW, are you an Aristotelian? I plowed through his collected writings last year (via the Great Books Of The Western World series). I still remember a statement of his from one of his biological treatises: “Gawdy and showy bees, like gawdy and showy women, are good for nothing.”
Not quite. Chlorine can form Chloroform in water up to several parts per billion with the usual chlorination process. Five ppb is the 1 in a million cancer risk for Chloroform, and that is the risk level to which many drinking water "action" levels are set. However, the Chloroform action level is set much higher, I think at 200 ppb, simply because chlorinated drinking water supplies typically cannot mee the 5 ppb level. Still, far more lives are saved by chlorination than are lost to cancer from Chloroform.
And yet they decided it was their mission to educate the world.
Typical elitist arrogance of the left.
The more I read about Greenpeace these days the more I am convinced that the root belief and dogma behind its actions is an utter loathing of humanity and all its works.
Simply put, true Greenpeace believers want to kill as many humans as they can. They would be utterly delighted if a horrible plague extinguished human life in Africa, South America, most of Asia and anywhere else — with the possible exception of where THEY live.
Dying to preserve Gaea is for the little people. After all, the Greenpeacers need to survive so the can appreciate the wonderful natural biosphere without all those grubby humans stinking up the place.
An insight into the political agenda behind the various green movements.
Patrick Moore’s a good guy. Greenpeace, in my area, goes door to door to sell memberships...60% of which goes to the seller as a commission. Typical comment from the seller when you don’t bite is...”so you’re in favor of killing baby whales?” Slam.
“We all have a responsibility to be environmental stewards. But that stewardship requires that science, not political agendas, drive our public policy.”
Yeah, sure, like that has ever happened. People only trust scientists when they say what people want to hear.
