Wood is the most important renewable energy source and the most important renewable material resource
![Page 25: Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103110/548aca51b47959116f8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We should be growing more trees and using more wood. Many activists argue that we should cut fewer
trees and use less wood.

Trees grow in a factory called the forest, by renewable solar energy

TREES ARE THE ANSWER
WOOD is GOOD
Steel, concrete, and other non-renewable materials are made in real factories with huge
inputs of energy, mainly fossil fuels.

“In the long term, a sustainable forest management strategy aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbon stocks, while producing an annual sustained yield of timber, fibre, or energy from the forest, will generate the largest sustained mitigation benefit.” (38 words)Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - 4th Assessment Report, 2007
Grow More Trees - Use More Wood(6 words)Patrick Moore - Repeatedly
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the foremost peer-reviewed experts on climate change, says the easiest and cheapest way to fight climate change is to "leave trees standing and protect its biodiversity."Stephanie Goodman, Greenpeace, Vancouver Sun, Feb. 2011

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Global Warming Petition Project – Opposed to Kyoto – Signed by 31,000 Scientists and Professionals.
“I am certain there is too much certainty in the world”Michael Crichton, “State of Fear”, 2004
Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations.United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - 2007
There are many opinions about climate change

Nuclear energy will be the most important source of electricity in the future. There is fuel for thousands of years.
![Page 50: Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103110/548aca51b47959116f8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
21 countries produce 15% or more of their electricity from nuclear energy.

The Main Biotech Crops Grown Today are Corn, Soybeans, Cotton, Canola, and Papaya. Many others are in development.
![Page 64: Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103110/548aca51b47959116f8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Since 2002, when GM corn was introduced in the Philippines, farmers income has increased by $155 million per year, and pesticide use has declined more than 50%.
A farmer with Bt corn in the Philippines – Greenpeace warned of “dying children and cancer clusters”.

Indian farmers forced the government to legalize Bt cotton
Since 2002 when GM cotton was introduced in India, production has more than doubled. India was a cotton-importing country. Today India exports 20% of its production. 70 million people are employed in cotton farming.

A good illustration of the effectiveness of GM technology. The potato plants on the right have been modified to resist the Colorado potato beetle. Those on the left have not been modified. It is easy to see why farmers grow GM crops.

Right to left: Prof. Peter Beyer, and Dr. Ingo Potrykus, the co-inventors of Golden Rice. Dr. and Ms. Datta helped in the lab during the nine years of discovery. Their work may one day end nutrient deficiency for hundreds of millions of people.

Golden Rice has the potential to eliminate Vitamin A deficiency in developing countries, saving 250,000 - 500,000 children from blindness and death every year due to vitamin A deficiency.
![Page 71: Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103110/548aca51b47959116f8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The only difference between conventional rice and Golden Rice is that Golden Rice contains the essential nutrient beta carotene.
![Page 72: Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103110/548aca51b47959116f8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Under the agreement reached among patent holders and the Golden Rice Project, any farmer in a developing country earning less than $10,000 a year will not pay a license fee for Golden Rice and will be able to save and replant the seed.

Greenpeace claims that there has not been enough testing on GM foods, including Golden Rice. Yet when scientists conduct field tests and clinical nutrition tests, Greenpeace destroys the field tests and trashes the scientists who do the nutritional tests. Does Greenpeace really believe that “possible unforeseen circumstances” are worse that 500,000 children going blind every year?

1. Grow more trees and use more wood
2. Choose hydroelectric power where it is available.
3. Choose nuclear energy over coal for electricity production.
4. Use geothermal heat pumps in most buildings.
5. Develop cost-effective technologies that require less fossil fuels.
6. Use genetic science to improve food and medicine.
7. Not ban useful chemicals unless there is evidence of harm.
8. Embrace aquaculture as a sustainable industry.
9. View climate change as natural and not catastrophic.
10. Recognize that poverty is the worst environmental problem.
