| Give me an example of a fake, invisible catastrophe. | |
| Well, the general theory, as you know in science, there's this holy grail called the unified field theory in which they hope someday that all the theories about gravity and light and heat and everything else in science can be condensed into a single formula. | |
| It's probably never going to happen, and I might not win a Nobel Prize for my discovery. | |
| But my discovery is called the Unified Theory of Scare Stories. | |
| And this theory is very clear. | |
| All the scare stories today and in the past have been based on things that are either invisible, like some kind of spirit, but today, like CO2 or radiation or the COVID, for example. | |
| Which is a real deal, but it's still easy to make up scarier stories than they need to be because it's invisible. | |
| And whatever is in GMOs that is supposed to be harmful, which actually doesn't exist, because it would have a name in a chemical formula if it did, and it doesn't have those attributes. | |
| So therefore, it's a completely fake scare story, whereas CO2 and radiation are actually real. | |
| But they can make up any story they want about it because nobody can see it or see what it's actually doing. | |
| And this goes also for things that are remote, like polar bears and coral reefs, where the average person is not able to truth or observe or verify the situation for themselves and therefore must depend on the people in the media, the activists raising funds on these scare stories. | |
| The politicians who promise to save your grandchildren from a certain death, and the scientists on serial government grants claiming that the science is settled on one hand and saying they need more money next year to study it further on the other. | |
| those people all have a huge financial and or political interest in the scare story and they're not going to change their tune even though they are all fake invisible catastrophes and threats of doom and in 11 chapters on 11 subjects in my book i show that to be true i would like to tell you my reaction I've been biting my tongue. | |
| I speak to a lot of people, and most are very bright. | |
| But there is a special type of brain that I particularly appreciate, and that is... | |
| The original brain. | |
| What you just said is so intelligent and original that it is sort of mesmerizing. | |
| The invisibility of the threats or the utter remoteness. | |
| That's right. | |
| Nobody meets polar bears or sees the coral reefs that are supposedly... | |
| Disappearing because of heated oceans. | |
| We don't see the carbon emission. | |
| It's fascinating. | |
| So there's this... | |
| We're supposed to embark on world-changing, I think world-crushing policies based on what you call these invisible catastrophic threats. | |
| When did you realize this first? | |
| I realized it in its entirety not that long ago after studying the environment for 50 years. | |
| I did coin a term, the invisible poison, some time ago to talk about things like pesticide residues in food and other things that are said to be harmful to us even though we can't see them. | |
| And I guess it was in relation... | |
| Largely to GMOs that I coined that term. | |
| Because the truth is, whatever is in the GMO that's supposed to be the genetically modified foods that is supposed to be harmful can't even be seen with a 10 million times electron microscope. | |
| That's because it doesn't exist. | |
| If it did, it would have a name and a chemical formula. | |
| Everything has a chemical formula. | |
| The simplest of scientific minds should be able to see that immediately. | |
| But as you say, that's not necessarily how minds work. | |
| You know, here's something to think about. | |
| Every single doomsday story, end times apocalypse scenario, since the beginning of civilization, has been untrue. | |
| Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. | |
| In other words, doomsday stories are never true. | |
| Oh, God, I love your mind. | |
| I have a great riddle you will enjoy, then. | |
| What do you call a religious person who says the end is coming, or the end is near? | |
| The end is near, yes. | |
| Hold on, let me just finish my riddle. | |
| So what do you call a religious person who says the end is near? | |
| A fanatic. | |
| What do you call a secular person who says the end is near? | |
| An environmentalist. | |
| Perfect. | |
| Yes, it's too bad because I've always considered myself an environmentalist, a sensible environmentalist as opposed to a fanatical one. | |
| But the word has been so badly abused. | |
| I am at my wit's end at this point because John Kerry has said... | |
| That even if we get to net zero, in other words, eliminating all fossil fuels from the face of the earth, and 80% of our energy is suddenly gone, even then, we must act to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. | |
| That's a quote. | |
| Yes, it's like even if everybody's vaccinated, we'll still have to wear masks. | |
| This original courageous man is Patrick Moore. |
