Patrick Moore left Greenpeace in 1986, 33 years ago. Since that time his almost every single one of his activities have been antithetical to the environmental movement in general and Greenpeace in particular.
However, during the intervening years, Moore has repeatedly used the claim that he was a founder of Greenpeace to insinuate that he speaks for the organization, that his views are in line with Greenpeace's and that his experience with Greenpeace has made him an effective spokesman for the well being of the environment.
