	Environmentalist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Moore, who calls himself "the sensible environmentalist," said the environment is in better shape than some extreme environmental groups would have the public think, and the agriculture industry must invest more time, money and energy to push back against environmental myths.
		Although a founding member of Greenpeace, Moore's views began to diverge from those of the organization in the 1980s, he said, when the environmental movement was hijacked by political extremists whose positions were not based on science or even common sense.
		Some of the things Moore said he was in favor of might be anathema to many of today's environmental activists: things like using biotechnology to address hunger and disease in poor countries.

		One of the founders of Greenpeace says the world environmentalist movement today has lost its way and is demanding policies that are a greater threat to the environment and civilization than the ills it seeks to prevent.
		Dr. Patrick Moore, a self-described "born-again ecologist," says the movement's drive against technological advances, including genetic engineering, is based on bad or non-existent science and that today's environmentalist radicals are being used by a variety of corporate and political interests.
		Moore said there is "not a single case" of a relationship between pesticides in food and cancer in humans, but that fresh fruit and vegetables are the best cancer fighters and people are actually at greater risk by avoiding them because of the pesticide scare.
