240: The Unified Theory of Scare Stories -with Dr. Patrick Moore
What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action?
Love and...?
Fear.
Knowing that, how is fear being using to sell us on massive government policies with price tags ranging from the billions and even trillions of dollars.
Dr. Patrick Moore is one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and joins the program today to outline how easily fear can be used to motivate policy, actual science be damned, and how the contemporary environmental movement has focused less on saving the environment than it is being anti-humanity.
