The Patrick Moore referred to in the spurious Wigmore article is not the
astronomer.The astronomer Moore is, as has been said, a highly respected
scholar who has published a number of books on astronomy. The Moore in the
Wigmore article is, as stated in the article, a co-founder of Greenpeace
who then discovered that there was money to be made as a purveyer of
disinformation. He now works for the forest industry and has a rather
transparent propoganda site on line under the name of Greenspirit. He
travels about the USA and Canada as a speaker for various timber interests
wherein he attempts to convince people that the only environmental problem
is those terrible environmentalists.There is also a web site called
"Patrick Moore is a big liar".
