Patrick Moore (born 1947) is a former environmental activist, known as one of the early members of Greenpeace, in which he was an activist from 1971 to 1986.

He is a frequent public speaker at meetings of industry associations, universities, and policy groups. He has sharply and publicly differed with many policies of major environmental groups, such as Greenpeace itself, on other issues including forestry, biotechnology, aquaculture, and the use of chemicals for flame retardants.[2] He is an outspoken proponent of nuclear energy[3] and skeptical of sole human responsibility for climate change.[4]
