Are wildfires truly caused by climate change—or by decades of forest mismanagement? Is CO2 really a pollutant, or is it the gas of life?
In this episode of Connecting the Dots, host Dan Happel is joined by Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, and Dr. Peter Kolb, Montana State University forestry expert, to explore the deep divide between radical environmentalism and science-based conservation.
Dr. Moore explains why he left Greenpeace, exposing how once-legitimate environmental activism morphed into an ideological movement disconnected from scientific facts. He discusses his book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom, challenging popular climate myths and defending the essential role of CO2 in sustaining life on Earth.
Dr. Kolb offers compelling insights from decades of forestry work, showing how common sense forestry and private land stewardship can dramatically reduce wildfire risk. Learn how logging, fuel management, and local control outperform federal land policies in conserving forest health.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in climate change truth, sustainable logging practices, forest fire prevention, and separating politics from ecological science.
