Take a deep breath and exhale. Now don’t, apologize, because Patrick Moore, a Canadian ecologist and business consultant, who was a member of Greenpeace from 1971-86, told members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, environmental groups use faulty computer models and scare tactics in promoting claims that man-made gases are heating up the planet.
