One of the original founders of Greenpeace told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he hopes to see Greenpeace USA lose a lawsuit that threatens the group\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Moore, who was listed<\/a> on Greenpeace\u2019s website as one of the original founders as recently as 2007 before the organization attempted<\/a> to distance itself from him, would like Greenpeace USA to lose the massive lawsuit<\/a> filed against the group by a company called Energy Transfer, he told the DCNF. The company is seeking $300 million in damages from Greenpeace USA in a North Dakota lawsuit that alleges the group or its entities incited major protests against Energy Transfer\u2019s Dakota Access Pipeline<\/a>, funded various attacks meant to damage the project and orchestrated a smear campaign against the company and its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve got to embrace what is really true science\u2026. They ignore massively important facts, and then make lies up to replace them. So yes, I hope they are going to learn a lesson from this,\u201d Moore told the DCNF regarding his old group and the lawsuit it faces. \u201cScience is about truth, and then you decide your policy. These guys, they personally decide the policy, and then they lie about the underlying scientific aspects. It just completely bastardized science in much of the world, especially in the Western world \u2026 they have become sort of spoiled brats, I would say, and they don\u2019t have good science.\u201d (RELATED: Eco-Activist Who Vandalized Stonehenge Recounts Being Bullied By American Bros Chanting \u2018Oil\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018They\u2019re Gonna Pay For It\u2019: A Single Texas Billionaire May Be About To Force Greenpeace USA Into Bankruptcyhttps:\/\/t.co\/2laZEUZ1Jv<\/a>\u2014 Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) September 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Greenpeace USA \u201cwould certainly deserve\u201d to lose the lawsuit, Moore told the DCNF. \u201cThey are basically attempting to destroy the means of transportation and so many other things. There\u2019s no doubt about it that pipelines are the safest way to move liquids, especially flammable ones. There\u2019s simply no question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore went on to play \u201ca significant role\u201d in Greenpeace\u2019s Canadian arm, according<\/a> to Greenpeace, but he left the organization in 1986 because he felt it had become too radical. Despite listing him as an original founder as recently as 2007, Greenpeace now has an entire website dedicated to explaining that Moore does not represent the organization and that he is not an original founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Transfer\u2019s billionaire executive chairman Kelcy Warren is behind the company\u2019s lawsuit, The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> Sunday. Warren, who once said that green activists ought to be \u201cremoved from the gene pool,\u201d views climate activists as a significant threat to the energy industry and has stated that he is unafraid to go after them for the problems they caused for the company and the Dakota Access Pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, some of Greenpeace USA\u2019s top leaders have fought internally about what kind of settlement may be acceptable to reach with the company, according to the WSJ. However, even if Energy Transfer wins the lawsuit, it may be difficult to enforce penalties against Greenpeace\u2019s central coordinating body in the Netherlands because that entity does not hold assets in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives for Greenpeace USA did not respond immediately to a request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
