Howards Greenpeace Gaff
by Rick Willis Wednesday June 07, 2006 at 01:17 AM

John Howard displayed stunning ignorance during an interview on ABC 730 Report (6/606) when he claimed the pro nuclear scientist James Lovelock was actually one of the founders of Greenpeace. Lovelock has no connection with Greenpeace. The mistake was probably the result of a lazy PM minder surfing the web in prep for the PM's interview hitting up the words "Lovelock" and "Founder of Greenpeace". These sites refer to the pro-nuke - ardent anti-green turncoat Patrick Moore one of the original founders of Greenpeace. See video clip 33 seconds.
