President Donald Trump touted Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore’s statements earlier this week that “the whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science.” Moore made his comments while appearing on Fox & Friends. See: Trump touts Greenpeace co-founder declaring ‘the whole climate crisis’ is ‘fake science’ – Video & Point-by-point rebuttal to Michael Mann’s Newsweek smear of Trump, Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Moore & Princeton’s Dr. Happer
But now, Google, with the help of Greenpeace, is revising Greenpeace’s history to erase Dr. Moore from his role in co-founding the environmental group. But Greenpeace’s own website has previously featured Moore as one of its “founders.” See: BUSTED: GREENPEACE’S OWN WEBSITE LISTED PATRICK MOORE AS ONE OF ‘THE FOUNDERS OF GREENPEACE’ – MOORE CALLS OUT HIS FORMER GROUP FOR ‘HISTORICAL REVISIONISM’
Moore on March 16: “Oh my! Google has removed my photo and name from the ‘Founders of @Greenpeace’. It was still there 2 days ago but now I am erased. Tech Tyranny!!”

While I was with Greenspirit Strategies consulting on environmental issues I wrote a detailed article on "Who are the Founders of @Greenpeace". If you are interested in a historically accurate account, with many references. here it is:https://t.co/BzXirAHpTh

But Greenpeace’s own history has featured Moore as one of its “founders.” See: BUSTED: GREENPEACE’S OWN WEBSITE LISTED PATRICK MOORE AS ONE OF ‘THE FOUNDERS OF GREENPEACE’ – MOORE CALLS OUT HIS FORMER GROUP FOR ‘HISTORICAL REVISIONISM’ – Greenpeace’s website listed Moore among its “founders and first members” before quietly removing it around 2007. Moore is only listed as a member of the group’s 1971 maiden voyage to oppose nuclear testing.
Greenpeace own website used to show Patrick Moore as one of “the founders of Greenpeace” – Via Anthony Watts – Watts Up With That
Moore explains: “I was listed as a founder of Greenpeace on their own websites for 20 years after I left. They only disowned me when I came out in favor of nuclear energy.”
Update March 22, 2019: Moore added:
Key point. @Greenpeace admits they listed me as a founder for 35 years. Then they took me off the list, as if that makes me “not a founder”. I was also named a founder in countless media reports. Once you are recognized as a founder it cannot be taken away for political purposes.

By Jo Nova
Donald Trump quoted Patrick Moore this week — the skeptic with an ecology PhD who was once a Founder of Greenpeace. So Greenpeace leapt to do some damage control on their brandname and created more damage instead. They promptly tweeted that he was never a founder and is a paid lobbyist. (And what is Greenpeace anyway if not paid lobbyists?)
If they’ll lie about their own history, what won’t they lie about?
Thanks to Anthony Watts for finding the tweet and reminding us of things we posted long ago.
Greenpeace tweet in 2019:
Patrick Moore was not a co-founder. Greenpeace Tweet.
Greenpeace history page in 2007:
Patrick was not only one of the first five, but he was their only scientist.
The Greenpeace site on February 25th, 2007. (Click to Enlarge) @Greenpeaceusa
For 40 years of Greenpeace history Patrick Moore was called one of the five founders of Greenpeace. He traveled on the first Greenpeace boat trip. Thanks to the Wayback Machine we know that sometime in March 2007 he fell off the Founders list.
Just Greenpeace copying their Soviet idols.

Greenpeace disappears a founder, much like ‘The Commissar Vanishes’ in Soviet Russia – It’s just like the famous communist propaganda photo series The Commissar Vanishes
The old Soviet practice under Joseph Stalin saw photos of commissar’s who fell out of favor with the Party, later had their photos doctored and the now unpopular commissar was made to disappear.

Dr. Patrick Moore is featured prominently in the new skeptical book, “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change.”
