Patrick Moore, co-founder of the environmental organization Greenpeace, isn’t too hot about global warming. Appearing on Fox Business Network with Stuart Varney on Thursday, he said global warming is a “natural phenomenon,” there’s no proof of man-made global warming, and suggested that “alarmism” is driving politicians to create bad environmental policies. He also said he’s not the only environmentalist that believes like him

Interesting change of stance considered they also admitted that they believed it was acceptable to lie and promote alarmist information in order to motivate the public. You can't trust these organizations. The only reason they are changing their stance is because the whole AGW movement is falling apart due to the unethical practices of their movement and the extensive information being brought forth concerning that behavior in the scientific realms. They seemed plenty happy to promote lies and push "bad environmental policies" when people were under the impression that the information being presented was valid.
The OP and Nomander are uninformed on this topic and incorrect to make any association between Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, and any political agenda they are attempting to pursue by linking the two. He left many years ago and has been nothing but a pain in their necks by taking positions in sharp contrast to the organization for many years.

He has worked for the mining industry, the logging industry, PVC manufacturers, the nuclear industry and in defence of biotechnology. In October 2008, Greenpeace issued a statement distancing itself from Moore, saying he "exploits long gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions that Greenpeace opposes."

Full disclosure: I really, really don't like Greenpeace, but there's no gotcha in this.
While talking with Varney, he explained that departure was in part due to the group’s “extremist positions” and it being hijacked by political and social causes as well as the left:

I guess he would be a pain in the neck to them because he's blowing the whistle on them.
It's to be expected that they'd get angry when they're getting exposed as charlatans.

Did anyone say there was?
Maybe you ought to try following the link and reading all the material before you make assumptions?
Your OP was clearly trying to make a political point by linking this individual and Greenpeace. I read the link and it doesn't change that fact - it's actually just a piece of propaganda trying to catch an uninformed audience off guard. Subsequently, Nomander bought into it without doing due diligent research and furthered the false pretense in order to satiate his political agenda.
Someone had to articulate the truth of their relationship, so I did. That's all. I have no interest in debate. He's well known for defecting from the environmental movement many, many years ago. Best if this thread get closed because it's based on a false premise.

What can one expect from the Blaze, Glen Becks rag other than bull crap?

Of course he's right, but thats also not saying that global warming isn't happening either.
Anything we can do to limit humans impact on our one and only life boat is a good thing, because as most Conservatives know, human influence on anything is generally bad. Less human influence, but within reason to the point that it won't destroy the economy in the process.

I do believe he did use the term "man made"......
