More on Cousteau...
Al -
Tnx for the clip. Keying off the "He didn't always get his facts right"
sentence -- I remember I was at a UNEP conference in the 70s on
Mediterranean pollution. Cousteau was there, went for a swim in the Med
and then proclaimed that the Med was dying. The conference was heavily
covered by the press, and they were hurting for a story. The next day
almost every European newspaper had headlines like: Cousteau Proclaims Med
is Dead. The man had to quickly retreat, retract and say something like
"it was only a local problem". He sure got attention! UNEP got just what
it wanted.
