Way, way off topic:
No it bleedin well isn't. Dr Moore is an internationally respected amateur
astronomer and educator. For the record, he compiled maps of the moon so
good that the Russians asked for access to them when they were planning
their robotic explorers.
If you meant by your comment that you should take his pronouncements on the
rainforest (should he make any ) with a pinch of salt, then that's fine. I
shall take his scientific opinions about deforestation with as large a pinch
of salt as your opinions about astronomy! <g>
