@Dajuhan2u ...nuclear energy, than anything I say cannot persuade you. GMO's...if you want to eat tomatoes spliced with fish genes, by all means help yourself. There is plenty of information about this contributing to human illness, and strands of diease mutating at a record rate. Lastly, your straw man will not work on any thinking person. Just because Patrick Moore said something, or made a criticism does not make it true. I could make the same intellectually dishonest conjecture...

excellent point about movements seeming impossible until they become too powerful to ignore any more. the night is darkest before the light.

Yes Greenpeace! I want to thank you for all the people you put out of work or simply died because of enviro/political causes. It's not about the enviroment, it's about control and world communism. Bravo Peace of Green Bravo!
