Kidding aside, the article about Patrick Moore is pretty telling,
especially his relating the story of his nickname within the organization:
========================
Patrick Moore has a PhD in Ecology and helped found Greenpeace in the early
1970s. In the mid-1980s, he left the organization and is now critical of
the current efforts of Greenpeace and the modern environmental movement in
general. Following are some highlighted quotes from a recent interview with
New Scientist magazine.
On being one of the few scientists in Greenpeace
"I was somewhat rare and had to live with
the fact throughout my time in Greenpeace that there was a lot of
disrespect for my science. That is why they called me Dr. Truth. It was
kind of a put down."
========================
This is kind of sad, really: i.e. that one of the founding members of a
multinational corporation such as Greenpeace would have to endure such a
"put down" for trying to be honest and trying to uphold a high standard of
truth.
