Greenpeace co-founder supports oilsands in statement

But in a statement released by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Monday, the co-founder of Greenpeace supported the oilsands.

Former leader Patrick Moore, who has written a book on why he left Greenpeace after 15 years, has publicly denounced Greenpeace in the past calling them anti-human and "anti-science."

"I've seen the land reclamation progress at oil sands sites," said Moore in the statement, "It’s a necessary, staggeringly complex process and evidence shows the land will be reclaimed as thriving ecosystems after oil sands are developed to help meet the world’s growing energy needs."
