Environmentalism Succinctly Characterized
The article details the change in attitude one of the founders of Greenpeaece had towards nuclear energy. The quote is reference to a current Greenpeace representative.
Mr. Townsley of Greenpeace disputes that. “We spend a lot of time looking at the science,” he says. “We’re pro-science. But you have good and bad science. Science has the ability to be our savior or our downfall.”

Both of you hit me with the same underlying argument. That there is some kind of ‘truth’ to science and this guy is ignoring it for political reasons.

Its just intereting because you have very different argument but they both rely on a fundamental assumption.

Actually I had assumed taht you were taking the position that these environamentalists were stupid for their take on science; otehrwise I’m not sure what you were originally posting about.

Stupid, not so much. Its silly how brazenly his in moralizing science.

well, if you don’t believe that science is based on some underlying truth, then why not moralize about it? Even if the evidence points the other way, who cares?
