Blooming America

In California, Soros was meeting with people at this time.

The two sat on the edge of the Linhai Villa, drinking coffee and chatting and laughing.

And this person is Patrick Moore, one of Greenpeace’s founders.

"The so-called environmental protection is basically a false concept. In a completely natural environment, the survival of human beings is a problem, let alone environmental protection. That kind of life is not suitable for humans at all."

Faced with Soros, Patrick was not annoyed, but smiled at the other person.

Soros is the biggest funder of Greenpeace.

When he was young, he lived in a small seaside town, accompanied by moss-covered forests.

A few years ago, he ignited a vigorous environmental protection movement and became the most concerned scientist among them.

But just in history, this famous Patrick Moore eventually defected to this famous organization and turned to find new sparks. Whether he is a double-faced beauty or a fat man driven by profit, he is the controversial Patrick Moore.

"Indeed, the existence of human beings is to constantly change the environment, constantly adapt the environment to us, and create the nature that belongs to our human beings."

The other party said so.

Recently, Patrick became more aware of the Lin'an deviation between himself and Greenpeace.

"I once had an in-depth conversation with Miss Edson. I think Miss Edson's philosophy is very good."

Soros talked to the other party.

"Miss Edson believes that our human'environmental protection' is not for the existence of other life, but only to make the living environment of mankind more comfortable. We will not find a way to create an environment. Rain forest. On the contrary, we can plant lawns for beauty."

Patrick nodded deeply.

"The ultimate goal of environmental protection. It is to make life in this world revolve around a'people-oriented' perspective. Although I like animals, between saving humans and saving animals, I choose to save humans."

It is hard to imagine that there would be such a sensible person in a place where a hunting dog that was killed and bitten in order to save people would be insulted by dog ​​lovers, but Patrick Moore was such a person.

In fact, it's not only that, Patrick Moore is also very in favor of nuclear power plants-and Greenpeace is against nuclear power at all.

In history, Patrick was in an interview with the German weekly newspaper. I once said: "The government has made a brave and correct decision to allow German nuclear power plants to operate for longer periods of time."

He believes that before the development of clean energy, the use of nuclear energy is the best way for mankind to reduce fossil energy consumption. "Burning coal, oil and natural gas not only pollutes the air. It also poses a huge threat to health...Nuclear energy may solve these problems."

In this era, Patrick criticized those environmental organizations opposed to nuclear energy for "inciting people's panic" is the biggest difference between him and the green environmental organizations.

In fact, in addition to supporting nuclear power. Patrick also supports genetically modified foods, but he has nothing to do with genetically modified food companies.

Patrick said: Supporting nuclear power and genetically modified food is to protect the planet.

The problem of genetic modification has never come from genetic modification itself, but from the benefits of genetic modification.

Of course, security issues are sometimes very important, and there is no doubt about it.

"The reason why I support nuclear energy but oppose nuclear energy. It is also for this reason. I support the peaceful use of nuclear energy, not the use of nuclear energy in war."

Patrick said this to Soros.

"Nuclear energy should not be used for war."

Soros nodded.

Catherine was once worried that Soros would be "going crazy" because of environmental protection. So I once had a discussion with Catherine on the issue of "environmental protection".

Soros' current attitude can also be said to be Catherine's attitude.

Of course, there are some differences.

For Catherine, she agrees with the original terrain and environment.

But with regard to the human environment, Catherine's opinion is a complete transformation.

In the human environment, what is needed is not the existence of gray mist due to industrialization, but it is not the environment like the virgin forest.

It can be said that the Divano School District is also the experience of Catherine's thought-although only half.

Because in Catherine's mind, there are still some things that cannot be used with the current technology, so I can only say "half completed".

Although Catherine likes heavy cars, in Catherine's mind, in the world, the lighter the car, the better, because that means less emissions and consumes less energy.

"During the years of the Green Revolution, I think that blind opposition is useless. What we need is cleaner technological development. This is the way to solve environmental problems from the root."

At this time, Patrick is still regarded as a scientific consultant tailored for Greenpeace.

He was firm and brave, and was arrested by the local military many times for insisting on investigating nuclear tests. He is also a PhD in ecology from the University of British Columbia in Canada.

In this era when there are not many PhDs, there are few young scientists like this who are enthusiastic about participating in environmental movements.

In fact, when the media wants to find someone to talk about scientific issues, Greenpeace will push Patrick out. In is the only one among them who can explain the problem concisely and directly.

"I was born into a family that made a living on the wasteland. My father was a lumberjack, and my mother's family had been fishing for generations." Recalling the seaside town where he was born, Patrick sighed: "I grew up in a paradise. "

"When I was a child, I used to sit in a small sampan and look down at those marine life, or go to play in the forest full of moss and ferns. At that time, nature left deep in my heart. Imprint, I found that I can't leave this kind of nature a bit. It is also because I love nature, my elective course is ecology, and then I joined Greenpeace..."

"But ecology is not just such a thing... I am glad that my small sea village does not have tsunamis or storms, and that'forest' is not a dangerous tropical rain forest. What humans need is a suitable living environment. But what we need is not. Those Luddites!"

Soros frowned.

Luddism refers to a blind impulse to resist new technologies and new things.

Luddism appeared in the early days of the Industrial Revolution. At that time, workers had insufficient understanding of the emergence of large-scale machinery production. They blindly believed that the appearance of large machinery had caused them to lose employment, so they hated large machinery and began to destroy these new machinery and equipment. In exchange for employment.

"I am improving the theory of environmental protection. I think that Greenpeace is no longer the organization I expected... This place is'not scientific enough.'"

"But I think you will face a very difficult choice." Soros said with a smile.

"When any kind of theory becomes fanatical, no matter how "justified and well-founded" it seems, it is actually a negative theory, and this kind of thing shouldn’t exist. Up."

Soros nodded.

"Mr. Paderick, what are you going to do next?"

Perhaps because of Catherine's intervention, Greenpeace appeared a few years earlier, but for this reason, Padrick of Greenpeace left the organization 20 years early.

"The Divano School District is a great place, and I got inspired there. But what about what I want to do... I plan to raise fish, um, salmon."

"Salmon?"

Soros asked.

"This is also the reason for the growing disagreement between me and the organization. They once said that the marine aquaculture industry is destroying the marine environment. But I want to prove to people that this is impossible."

"So you are an environmentalist in the traditional sense, but I think you can be called a sustainabilityist." Soros said.

"maybe."

"Also, don't you think that if you just keep fish, this is a bit too awkward?"

The other shrugged.

In fact, in history, Patrick did raise fish-but within a few years, he went bankrupt.

Because Patrick has been so successful in raising fish, there are too many fish on the market, and there is too much oversupply...

"In order to scientifically promote sustainable development on an ecological platform, I think you need a new organization."

"A new organization...?"

"Green Soul(t)...how?" Soros seemed to have heard this word from Catherine, but Soros was not impressed.

Patrick nodded.

"It's a good name."

He sighed: "Considering that there are billions of people who need to eat, we can't'let it go' to nature. We have no other way. In that case, why can't we make our work more beautiful and more efficient? I think I do need a new organization. We need a rational, not fanatical organization. Fanaticism can bring a lot of subjective insight. Monofilament does not bring actual value, but-destruction."

"Maybe we can have a happy cooperation~www.wuxiaspot.com~The cooperation between us should bring us a win-win situation."

Soros smiled.

"We will achieve our great goal." Patrick said.

At this time, Soros thought of Catherine's words.

"Under our organization, all reasonable technologies will exist reasonably, and all unreasonable technologies will be strangled by us in the name of science and environmental protection..."

Although it's a bit colder, it feels unexpectedly, isn't it?

……Although Soros didn’t know, what kind of mentality was Catherine’s words said at the time…

The carriage of destiny has been replaced by a coachman and a horse, and history is galloping on another road.

Three shifts are completed. (To be continued)
