The whole world should be listening to this brilliant ecology doctor. He’s spent his whole life studying the planet.
Patrick Moore has been a paid spokesman for a variety of polluting industries for more than 30 years, including the timber, mining, chemical and the aquaculture industries. Most of these industries hired Mr. Moore only after becoming the focus of a Greenpeace campaign to improve their environmental performance.
@Allsorts Grifts - He's just pointing out common sense.
Actually, with nuclear power synthetic fuel could have been produced at a large scale. There would have been no need to drain both rare minerals for batteries or oil for fossil fuels, since this could be replaced with the use of the fischer tropch synthesis.
There's no such thing as Fossil Fuels. Fossil Fuel is a political term.
Everything on Earth is constantly recycling its self & everything is Green.
@@wandameadows5736 Get outta here
Patrick Moore is the best voice for a sane energy policy out there.
I like to see Dr Patrick Moore on the Joe Rogan show
Imagine having a mini nuclear reactor in your backyard instead of a generator.
if everyone have that there's a good chance you wouldn't even need the grid😊
I don’t think we are running out of time. If we want a green planet the best CO2 level is about 1200 ppm.
Damn right. Once I figured this out you see the scam everywhere. Same with the fear of warming up. I watched an ocean special on Hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean. Ocean temp at that depth? 4 degrees C. At the vents? (60-400C +, tapering off to a nice warm 20-40C in the vicinity) Ultra-acidic water, too. Life thrives in these areas and its shocking, striking, stunning...to see the difference. But it shouldn't be so surprising...life evolved from places like this.
Yea nobody stops to think where the oil came from. It used to be part of the cycle of life on the surface, and from our best guess there was a lot more life back then.
@@Greasy__Bear Oil is literally "organic" material, aged liquid compost. What could be more natural?
@@pfschuyler well its a bit rich it will burn out plants. You gotta burn the oil to turn it into co2 to make it usable.
He’s right! And the Facts don’t care about your feelings!
We're running out of time, really. Nuclear is probably the only way out at this point.
It's the only realistic way
Until nuclear fusion is figured out or energy storage takes a quantum technological leap forward, nuclear fission is our best hope.
no one's running out of time. It's all nonsense. We They were saying it already 30 years ago that we'll be out of time by now. Uh boo hooo co2... I say we burn more of it! Trees love it!
@@doublegi2880 the time we are running out of is only because of the WEF agenda😒 This green agenda is going to leave us cold and starving. Their ridiculous idea of us consuming crickets is unrealistic, especially for those allergic to shell fish because crickets contain chitin.
Gotta get this guy and Bret Weinstein to have a conversation
The land around Chernobyl is a forest full of wildlife.
It is a wildlife haven animals dont care about radiation
During March 2015 in an interview by French investigative journalist Paul Moreira, on French television station Canal+, Moore was asked about the safety of the herbicide glyphosate. Moore told Paul Moreira that one "could drink a whole quart of it" without any harm. When Moore was challenged to drink a glass of the weedkiller, he refused, saying "I'm not an idiot" and "I'm not stupid" before ending the interview.
Your comment Hosni is uninformed. Roundup's safety issue was created by plaintiff lawyers in the US. I would not drink anything not intended for drinking. I would not drink gasoline either. That does not mean that using gasoline is not safe.
@@erics8302
The point of my comment was to show Patrick Moore is an A$$clown for saying RoundUp was safe to drink.
A glass of Glyphosate is actually less dangerous than a glass of salt or bleach. It is not sound to drink a glass of glyphosate but definitely not as harmful than mist of the substances that you and me use on a daily basis.
@@colinebied-charreton1343
Our point?
This is something that should've been done decades ago.
How many trees have to be cut down to make a solar farm or wind farm.
Actually one solid ecological act would be planting trees everywhere we could, every free space available we could start new forests around the world.
It's not fast solution but why doesn't that happen? Trees bind CO2 and clean the air.
Also good biodiversity in general, especially when those forest can be as natural as they grow.
Why not switch to thorium?
no need to
What is his vision about the Nitrogen problem?
Safest, cleanest and cheapest is nuclear energy.
Energie from outside the ecosystem is the answer to a lot of our problems.
He’s like, “shiiiiiit what else we posed to do yo?” Lmao
Thorium !!
Aftet 20 years of its life, how can they diapose off those solar panels and wind mill materials.
That's the part of The Walking Dead they don't explain. Who is taking care of all those nuclear plants?
I'm not anti-nuclear, however he doesn't address at all what to do with all the nuclear waste generated by nuclear power. We gave systems in place, but the long term viability of storing vastly more nuclear waste is in question. Let's hope we figure out fusion power soon.
Nuclear wastes are being managed for decades you know.
HE DRANK THE COOL AID
Show where he lied.
No he didn’t. He kindly declined a glass of RoundUp way back in that one interview.
Advances in Solar cell technology will be the way, 1000 Watt panels will be very cost effective for home owners.
Carrot and the Stick, government policy is the stick, when home owners can profit from solar, that is the carrot!
Solar is a dream that will become a nightmare.
So sad you have fallen victim to extreme green propaganda. PV solar is fit for purpose only in areas with excessive sunlight and low latitudes where the sun remains at a high azimuth year round. Don’t you know anything from basic high school science or were you high school science teachers too lazy and simply presented Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”?
Thousand watt panels? So you have any idea how large a panel that would have to be based on current wattage output?
The fact is, there’s a massive difference between the current output from a panel and a mythical 1000 wattage panel.
May happen but not without a significant amount of breakthroughs in technology and materials.
Energy science idiots believe all things are possible………I run into these LUDDITES all the time and it makes me cringe.
@@gtranquilla ,
I am perplexed by the number of these people who proclaim solar and wind as the future yet they don’t invest their money into solar systems.
50% of Americans vote Democratic and they believe in green energy. Yet the total percentage of Americans who have solar is less than 4%
He is obviously #OnTheTake

On the take from who?
@@aab4219 Not on Obama’s take anymore…
If he is "obviously on the take" then you should be able to show where he lied. Do so now.
Paid by Monsanto : )
@@aab4219 Like all deniers - Big Oil / Monsanto : )

The nuclear power waste isn't being addressed. Yes I read MIT invented a similar method like removing salt from drinking water to clean nuclear waste water to reuse it for cooling. That doesn't create forever cooling water. There's core debris and reactor fuel. Once a reactor is decommissioned it's released from regulatory control and the plant licensee is no longer responsible for nuclear safety. Let's answer the state of the existing nuclear waste and that of the most recently decommissioned reactors first.
@@khernandez7903 the nuclear waste issue wasn't addressed because it doesn't have to be. There are technical solutions to both store and/or RECYCLE spent nuclear fuel - which then could be reused in more modern NPPs, contributing to a) lower thr already low lifestyle emissions (recycling U means less mining for new U), b) heavily diminished long-term storage, since completely spent nuclear fuel only takes approx 300 years to have its radioactivity down to natural ambient levels, as opposed to current practices of storing fuel which still 97% of its energy potential inside for approx 240 000 years.
@@FSantoro91 , that sounds so positive. Can we evaluate that by looking at the most recently decommissioned nuclear reactors from 2021. What was done and where is the waste.
@@khernandez7903 We have at least four methods in dealing with 'nuclear waste', the problem is political, not technological.
And do you have a solution for the Nuclear Waste ??
French have been recycling theirs for decades…
Yes. Bury it deep in the middle of Nowheresville NM, NV MT or UT
@@chriscuomo9334 and what of Yellowstone if it goes boom again?
There are four solutions, have been for many decades. The problem is your politicians.
Yes - it will be reprocessed and be reused as fuel. Shame she didn't ask him about that
Listen to his views..opinions going way back and listen carefully open minded..before you giving your closed minded opinions..
Гринписс упустила самую важную проблему на планете... наверное на нее закрывают глаза потому что гринписс часть этой проблемы. Проблема в том что все люди на планете пукают и рыгают,абсолютно все.. воздух загрязнается и возникает пожароопасная обстановка,особенно в крупных городах
Вы собираетесь заняться этой проблемой? Но чтоб ее решить всем членам этой организации надо начать с себя,искоренить свои привычки а потом научить других
А так как обычно,гринписс больше всех воняет но ничего не делает,потому что люди продолжают пукать,зоопарки и дельфинарии в которых мучаются наши братья меньшие не закрывают,приюты для бездомных это концлагеря,младенцев и детенышей зверей мучают в лабораториях чтоб найти средства от заразы которую люди сами переносят и на улицах городов всегда есть бездомные которые подцепляют заразу и становяться ее носителями потому что вокруг все пукают и рыгают и руки не моют,в общем антисанитария по всему миру
В чем дело?
Bribed traitor.
Though nuclear is likely the path forward, hopefully using thorium, I do recall people aboard the USS Ronald Reagan being affected by the fallout of Fukushima.
Fukushima was built on a fault line, and also, no person was harmed inFukushima.
No one on board the USS Ronald Reagan or its support fleet was ever injured by Fukushima radiation.
As water and non renewable resources become more scarce, food continues to be inadequately distributed around the world, increased political activism and ideological conflicts, the human propensity for more frequent war is inevitable, and increasing the number of nuclear power plants will provide greater danger. Would you like to live within fallout range of one?
@@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426 That's why nuclear power plants are designed with containment vessels. No one died from Fukushima radiation.
Man Made Climate Change is a HUGE LIE & people like Tucker & Hannity aren't helping to fight it because they accept the LIE instead disproving it or making the Left prove its real. That's one thing I liked about Trump, he called it a HOAX & that's the right position to take. Most Republicans & Conservatives don't do this, most go ahead and start from the position that man made climate change is real & then they argue against the policy's. If you prove its all LIES then you EXPOSE the whole thing.
CONSIDER THIS: Dr. Moore has an impressive CV, but has veered off path.
Increased seismic activity observed globally, and more so, escalating militarism that will occur as fresh water, food, other resources become scarce, will render nuclear facilities prone to targeting, and very unsafe.
The world still runs on petro, unfortunately. Transcontinental and trans-oceanic shipping of more goods, to more people runs on diesel.
There are simply too many humans, consumptive, wasteful, and crowding out animals and forest.
Visit Brazil, to see rain forest converted to Big Ag; the melting Arctic. Survey ocean fish populations, the continental masses of oceanic plastic we’re building.
We’re a half century late addressing this.
Nuclear is not unsafe, this is a statistical fact. Most of the US Navy has been nuclear powered for decades. Rolling in the saltwater waves, in steel ships, mere bulkheads away...with closed air systems.
@@pfschuyler I’ve served on such, so you’re not pointing out some bright new fact.
As particular resources become scarce, ideologies collide, conflict becomes inevitable, and can/will involve nuclear facilities. In addition, seismic activity and severe weather catastrophes are increasing.
The problem is simply, too many humans, with their requirements, activities, products, waste, destructive effect on ecosystems. Adding 1,000,000 new creatures like you every five days!
But feel free to live as near as you can to a nuclear reactor so you can be close to a clean, dependable power source.
There are no increases in earthquakes world wide, and the 9.0 earthquake that struck Japan didn't destroy any NPP in Japan.
I would love to see dr moore debate the just stop oil and climate crisis nutters on british tv, he would destroy their bullshit in minutes.
