Greenpeace co-founder actually never founded Greenpeace

From Greenpeace

Patrick Moore frequently portrays himself as a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace, and many news outlets have repeated this characterization. Although Mr. Moore played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years, he did not found Greenpeace. Phil Cotes, Irving Stowe, and Jim Bohlen founded Greenpeace in 1970. Patrick Moore applied for a berth on the Phyllis Cormack in March, 1971 after the organization had already been in existence for a year.

He co-founded something after it has been 'founded' a year ago :D:D

So what does he do?

Moore Has Been An Industry Spokesman For Over 20 Years. Patrick Moore founded Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. in 1991, a communications strategy firm that promotes energy-intensive industries including "mining, energy, forestry, aquaculture, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing," and supports "environmentally sound oil extraction, like is being done in the Canadian oil sands."

But as long as denies AGW, he is a 'co-founder' for the Cons. It's easy to fool Cons given their low intelligence and bias to stupidity.
 
so the former president of greenpeace who spent 15 years in the top committee states he was as co founder and you say he is wrong... by a few months.

I am sure things were pretty fluid back then.

How does one become a founder of something a year after it has been founded?

Doesn't Greenpeace not get to have a say on who founded them?

He's using Romney logic.

Gee..you might want to read the page you linked.

"There's a joke that in any bar in Vancouver, Canada, you can sit down next to someone who claims to have founded Greenpeace. In fact, there was no single founder: name, idea, spirit and tactics can all be said to have separate lineages. Yet, some people clearly stand out. Here are four of them."

He is not among the four.


Moore is listed on being aboard a BOAT.

The group organised a boat, the Phyllis Cormack, and set sail to Amchitka to "bear witness" (a Quaker tradition of silent protest) to the nuclear test. On board were:

Being aboard a boat is not being a co-founder. Having your name mentioned in an article doesn't mean the title of the article applies to every name mentioned in it.

Otherwise, Warren G. Harding is one of the founding fathers because the wiki page titled Founding Fathers has a mention of him.

thanks for that gwb...

and for the morons who have never been part of anything social... its not always easy to say when you officially become a group or a movement or even a business.
frequently people have more than one agenda.

its part of the reason people have to put in place partnership contracts or founding documents.

Oh look, the guy who lied and lied and lied about skewed polls and insulted everyone who pointed to his delusion is accusing others of lying!

Should I dig up your BS about skewed polls and humiliate you again?

You didn't answer my question, how can someone 'co-found' an organization after it has been in existence for a year and the organization itself denies that he was a co-founder.
