Happy Planet article by Browne

[Brenda Rosser]

I have, in the past, emailed Browne because of his support of Patrick 
Moore who he quotes (below) in his current article. What I got back 
from him was a threat of legal action. A meaningless threat but a 
threat nonetheless.

For those who may not know, Patty Moore (he hates to be called Patty) 
was once with Greenpeace but then he learned where the money was.He 
is now paid by (among other timber interests) the Forest Alliance of 
British Columbia which is a group of timber giants such as 
Weyerhauser.Patty gives talks wherever he can and claims to be an 
environmentalist.He claims that cutting down trees is a good thing 
because then more trees will be planted. That's typical of the kind 
of "logic" he uses. A web search under the name Patrick Moore will 
bring you to his web site and to a site named Patrick Moore Is A 
Great Big Liar. If you go to his site be sure to drop him an email 
and be sure to call him Patty.
I would suggest emailing the Observer complaining about Browne and 
his blatant and dangerous bias.
