director greenpeace international. as the leader of many campaigns, dr. moore was a driving force, shaping policy and direction while greenpeace became the largest environmental activist organization. in recent years, he has worked on consensusbuilding. as chair of the sustainable for street committee, he leads the process of developing the principles of sustainable for street which have been advocated by a majority of the industry. it is my pleasure to introduce to you dr. patrick moore. [applause] >> thank you. good morning everyone. thank you for inviting me here to give my opinion on the subject of climate change. this was my home for my first 14 years, a small logging camp on the northwest tip of an hoover island on the rainforest by the pacific. i did not know how lucky i was. i was sent off to vancouver for boarding school and then to the university of british columbia to study life sciences. in 1960, before the world was known to the general public, i discover the science of ecology, how all things are interrel

but more significantly, he went to the young leaders of greenpeace based in the northwestern iraq the time focus on aboveground nuclear test. what he did was he was able to convince them that they should actually focus their energies on the russian whaling fleet. they took their video cameras. admin 1870s, the wild world of sports was following greenpeace on their anti-whaling adventure and they were an international sensation and at that i think as much as anything, it was obviously part of a worldwide is meant, but by 1986, there was a worldwide moratorium on commercial whaling, which was significant because in a commercial whaling illegal around the world and do is to enlarge the two perhaps john mobley, roger payne and certainly greenpeace. so this is where my protagonists entered the story. an attorney, not a scientist, jewel reynolds of natural resource defense loan los angeles, she was an established environmental attorney, but it never done a case. he stumbled into this. his partner over time was a marine mammal biologist marine mammal biologists come up a total maverick. some

for greenpeace u.k. the cloud is massive. lot of time talking about the scale of the cloud. in terms of its energy footprint, how should we think of it? >> growing. as we live more of our lives online, whether it is sending videos, e-mails, tweets, the energy of the footprint is growing hugely. probably about 10%, 11% per year. morningd somewhere this that if you classify the cloud as a country, it would be the sixth largest energy consumer in the world. >> it would rank about six. that gives you an idea of the and normandy of the power -- enormity of the power-hungry nets. >> the power is there to drive it but also to keep it cool as well. aboutat makes you think where people are positioning these things. some companies are putting them up near the nordics. u.s. geothermal. who is doing it well? >> good question. you mentioned the nordics. launched aast year, new data center in sweden. poll.e they call the node that obviously makes sense in many ways. all youryou can't have data centers in places like sweden. it is very impo

i call it fertilizing. >> this guy is greenpeace.lissa: patrick moore was cofounder. >> the other cofounder disagrees with him. but he believes global warming may have positive elements. melissa: go ahead. >> the climate changed. no one can agree on science. i think the science still being developed. we're trying to figure out the existing assets we have, trying to understand the oceans. trying to understand what that means for the climate and role humans play. >> president is wrong when he says it is settled science. >> oh, yeah. >> think about it, on unsettled science -- >> countries like china, they didn't even show up. melissa: let charlie make the point before we go on unsettled science. >> on unsettled science you destroy industry and kill jobs. melissa: put people out of work. >> raise prices. melissa: that's a joke, leave it there. >> those are scary, scary numbers. melissa: tech lovers are thrilled. apple ioos 8 is finally available. the justice department is not happy about it. now the new software could put vital informati

. >> reporter: greenpeace india along with other local nongovernmental organizations turned it into aee how power can make a difference. in this village of 2,200 people, 60 solar street lamps have been set up. and every single household now has access to power. 24/7. with india's ever-increasing population and insufficient resources, greenpeace says the country needs to look at alternative energy. >> the vision is to transform how it is done in the country. you have a huge problem of 300 million people in this country do not have electricity. you can't wait. >> reporter: in july, it became energy independent. "suddenly it feels like light has come into our lives. our children can study easily. we can walk around freely. we're finally happy," he says. it's still far from developed. the villages now have access to basics. the ability to charge their mobile phones at home, fans in temperatures that often hit 40 degrees celsius, even computers, and most of all, confidence that they are now part of the new india. >> and once the phones and the computers are on, the whole world is at their

charlie cray is with greenpeace. "climate action is our obligation.", sea of people, musicians. coming up is two minutes of silence and then a mass sound. some are calling it the burglar alarm will go off for two minutes. sonja joined right now by . did i pronounce your name correctly? >> yes. >> you are wearing a t-shirt that says "undocumented, unafraid, unapologetic." how does that relate to climate change? >> i am here with a national network of artists and musicians. one of the things we want to showcase is that climate change communities,nt where there is a forced migration happening. we want to knowledge that -- acknowledge that. we are here to fight for mother earth. >> explain the term culture strike. >> culture organizing. , musicians, poets, like myself, we are here for the community. we want to make sure that we are here and operating our creativity. imagining change and what justice looks like. wouldyou have a poem you like to share with us? >> at the moment, no. ims to. i have been running around. we are designing the birds and the puppet

this is why you see people from greenpeace that are no longer involved in this, because this is going after western technology, we had 10 million iphones sold. i'm sure half of those people have those iphones. but that corporation isn't evil, because they're using that phone. they go after oil, but how do you think that stuff gets truck there had. >> how do you discharge your iphone? i want to ask you a question, why are you all so upset about this, if you're so right, and you've got all the science on your side, then just don't say anything, and just go on and let us be a bunch of communists. >> because your inane regulations on the american economy is actually -- >> our inane regulations? >> yes, it is hamstringing the ability of the economy to thrive and we could have money that could be invested to find -- >> president obama's own words, if you decide to build a coal firepower plant, we will necessarily bankrupt you. >> and this by the way is murderous, bob, if leo dicaprio took one of his chartered jets and filled it with coal and took it to a third world country where they are d

you just, as i said, returned from a trip to the abbing tick, it was a -- arctic, it was a greenpeace sponsored trip and you are upset because you think people paid more attention to what is happening to polar bearses more that the 100,000 that live in kiry bass. >> i made that statement in a speech to the united nations at the general assembly. it was annoying. there was more focus on the fate of the polar bears, and nothing much about people. so climate change has been such an issue where focus has been on the science, phenomenon of climate change, but not so much on the human area. what it means for people that would be affected most, initially. but more importantly for the rest of humanity. that is why we were upset, why that focus - we tried to direct attention. my visit made that direct connection. what happens in the north poll, the melting of the ice will have direct consequences on what happens to us on the equator. what is happening to you. as you just said, the average height elevation of the islands is a little more than six feet, and rising sea levels have taken a village

but this is something that was urged by the environmental allies of the administration like greenpeaceand others said they are treated like the worst kind of criminals the case went on and on and in the and the justice department entered into a deferred prosecution agreement can tell you one day and tear into a deferred prosecution did not have the evidence to go to trial to convicted is very clear in this case because as part of the agreement they agreed to give back all of the of would they seized it in the future to prevent them from importing it that 1.they seized the wood from a supplier that don'ts apply just to gibson guitar but other guitar makers. but gibson guitar is the only guitar maker but the head of the organization is a prominent conservative and very outspoken and the others have received the same would were not subject to this type of prosecution john has gone over that in the only thing i want to say about that is you take the extreme legal position when all justices disagreed including your former solicitor general but we have a dozen cases like bad and the solicito

what is great, is a bunch of cups say greenpeace on them. >> irony heres abound. these people are borderline imbeceles. i will give you a couple of examples why. number one, if they really wanted to protest climate change and pollution, should have protested the new york stock exchange during the alibaba ipo which is chinese company. melissa: that's a great point. >> china is one of the worst polluters in the world. melissa: instead they're down there today. >> number two, wall street is not located down there. they don't even -- melissa: almost nobody works at building. >> i hate to give them any ideas. >> have a lot of friends. >> but these morons picked wrong place. melissa: not only that -- >> are they supposed to be working at their own jobs. melissa: no. >> the name? people's climate movement. melissa: speaking of all that earlier today -- >> no more leftist name. melissa: varney asking bob deans, who activist, why are we supposed to come to the table and spend our corporate money and hurt our economy when china out there the largest polluter is doing nothin

climate activist, cofounder of the national environment a law center and former deputy director of greenpeacesa. and jay o'hara is a quaker and a sailmaker from cape cod, massachusetts. we welcome you both to democracy now! what inspired this action? talk about how you actually accomplished it last year in may. >> the inspiration for this i think is many of us have this huge weight on our hearts knowing this crisis is bearing down on us. almost two years ago in october, ken and i both ended up at a on then downtown boston eve of hurricane sandy. ken proposed the idea it was time to take direct action to stop coal from being burned in massachusetts. it seemed my heart leapt with joy at the first mention of it, and it was clear that was the work that we needed to do. >> ken ward, you been a long time, activist. why did you decide to take this direct action last year? >> nothing else was working. a lot of us have been doing this -- one of the things we had to argue or would have argued had we gone to trial, is that we pursued all legal available means to try to address the problem. we had been d

would have to lock up would be the cofounder of greenpeace.usy, busy wednesday morning. heather childers has the headlines for us, and she starts with a well-known film maker. >> a couple of headlines for you. the most well known conservative film maker in hollywood will not go to prison over illegal campaign contributions. a judge sentenced desouza to five years probation. >> my faith in an independent judiciary is confirmed. my own country tried to put me away and the court said no. >> d' souza will have to spend eight months in a halfway house and his community service, teaching english to immigrants. >>> want to buy a new car but don't want to pay for it? steal it. that is what these thieves did. they made off with 22 of them. they hit car dealerships in california. surveillance caught them stealing a box and matching up the keys to the cars in the lot. >> i wouldn't think this is a random event. there had to be some sort of organization to get nine people together to steal vehicles. >> police say it may be part of an organized ring. >>> t

stuart: the cofounder of greenpeace giving us a scientific perception.ntalism seems to me has become a religion, use they what? >> i am an environmentalist. i am, i believe environmental movement heavily stolen the flag from judeo-christian ethic of affecting creation of a steward of creation. moving out those ethics in god man, god woman who said this is our new god. stuart: yes. they kids are being told we must respect the planet, i believe that is only one step away from worshiping mother earth. >> that, of course. let me give you purely anecdotal but there was a big rally in new york city the other day, huge. i walked through it addressed like this. i got heckled for my stance on abortion. by a number of people. yelling at me for my stance on abortion. new line with other groups that would like to what the name and the word of god away from our society so we can do whatever we want. stuart: in schools you cannot worship the creator, but you can worship the creation in that is my point, it is being taught as a religion. missing the aftereffects of ind

greenpeace is a corporation. you will note every one are in discourse, often associated with being on the left. many of those groups are not particular fans of me as an elected official and that's their right. it's their right to scream from the mountaintops their criticisms with my political positions and i will defend their right to criticize me or any other member of this body all day long because the bill of rights says congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. 49 democrats just said everying organization organization i just read it should be constitutional for congress to prohibit them from speaking about politics. seems to me that every senate democrat who put his her or her name to this amendment when we return to our home states should expect to answer questions from citizens, senator, why did you vote for a constitutional amendment to silence my free speech rights? that's a question we should all expect. now, mr. president, i'd like to address a couple of red herrings in this debate bec
