Two environmentalists apologise!

"Late in March, Mark Lynas, a leader in the movement against
Genetically Modified (GM) crops, did something virtually unheard of
within radical environmentalist circles: he apologized for
demonizing “an important technological option which can be used to
benefit the environment.” In May, Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore
was equally contrite,
noting that his fellow extremists “have abandoned science and logic
altogether.” Others in the movement are expressing similar reservations.
Yet in assessing the damage radical environmentalism has engendered,
one may be forgiven for wondering if such apologies are sufficient.
Moore gets to the heart of the matter, explaining that while the
1980s ushered in the age of radical environmentalism, the issues for
which he and his organization had fought have been largely accomplished.
Thus, in order for his cohorts to remain employed, Moore admits they
had to adopt increasingly extreme positions he categorizes as
“anti: anti-human, anti-science, anti-technology, anti-trade and
globalization, anti-business and capitalism, and ultimately,
anti-civilization.”
