He doesn’t have too many nice things to say about the radical organization he left behind.

Taking the peace out of Greenpeace
On April 1 – but make no mistake, this was not an April Fools Day prank – Greenpeace’s international website posted the following message on it’s homepage:
On April 1 – but make no mistake, this was not an April Fools Day prank – Greenpeace’s international website posted the following message on it’s homepage:
The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and scepticism. If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like. If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fuelling spurious debates around false solutions and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.
Obviously, this thinly-veiled blatant threat didn’t sit well with skeptics. The Greenpeace PR machine went into action, adding a supposedly soothing note to the blog that said the author was “known around the Greenpeace world for stating his opinion loud and clear, and not being a diplomat”. He is “a genuinely peaceful guy,” it went on to say, “who believes in the power of peaceful protest to change the world.”
Right. He believes in peaceful protest to change the world. Well, that and coming to you house and kicking your ass if he sees a gas guzzler in your driveway.

Ouch. Japanese whalers 1, Greenpeace protesters 0
We really are torn on the Greenpeace vs. Japanese whaler issue. On one hand, there’s really seems to be no good reason to slaughter whales. On the other hand, Greenpeace opposes it, so we tend to root for the whalers.
We really are torn on the Greenpeace vs. Japanese whaler issue. On one hand, there’s really seems to be no good reason to slaughter whales. On the other hand, Greenpeace opposes it, so we tend to root for the whalers.
This video shows the Greenpeace lunatics putting their boat, the S.S. Minnow Sea Shepherd, directly in the path of a large Japanese security ship. The Japanese need the security ships, by the way, to prevent harassment from the Greenpeace lunatics during whaling operations. The security ship “shoots” the protesters with high-pressure hoses to keep it at bay.
Naturally, the Greenpeacers now claim that they were “rammed.”
In a technical sense, it may be true since one ship did, in fact, hit the other one. But it ignores (a) the fact that the smaller boat put itself directly in the path of the larger ship, and (b) the fact that the 491-ton Shonan Maru 2 (maximum speed 12 knots) could outmaneuver Greenpeace’s nimble 13-ton, 45-knot trimaran.
Far as we’re concerned, the optimum outcome of these situations would be if the whales all got away, but the Greenpeace boats didn’t.
Anyone out there ever eat whale meat? Does it taste anything like chicken?

Good lord. Lord Monckton reveals the ignorance of global warming advocates
What happens when Lord Christopher Walter Monckton talks global warming with a Greenpeace activist in Copenhagen? Let’s just say the Greenpeace activist and the global warming movement come out second best.

The funniest part of the interview is that Monckton demolishes the activist in that very polite, very dignified way only an Englishman could pull off.

Greenpeace spokesman admits its story about melting Arctic ice doesn’t hold water
Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace finally admitted to BBC reporter Stephen Sackur that the organization may have made a bit of mistake when it claimed that Arctic ice will disappear by 2030.
Getting a member of Greenpeace to admit they flat out lied about the imminent disappearance of Arctic ice was tougher than drowning a polar bear.
Yet, after repeated questioning, Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace finally admitted to BBC reporter Stephen Sackur that the organization may have made a bit of mistake lied when it claimed that Arctic ice will disappear by 2030.
“I don’t think it will be melting by 2030…That may have been a mistake,” he said.
Weakening the organization’s credibility even further, Leipold admitted that Greenpeace is often guilty of “emotionalizing issues” in an attempt scare the hell out of people.
Then he got to the real heart of the matter – the only way to stop global warming is to destroy the American economy.
“We will definitely have to move to a different concept of growth…The lifestyle of the rich in the world is not a sustainable model,” Leipold observed. “If you take the lifestyle, its cost on the environment, and you multiply it with the billions of people and an increasing world population, you come up with numbers which are truly scary.”
Scary. Sort of like the phony story about the Arctic ice melting.
