Politicians & 10-year-olds think banning drinking straws in rich nations will address improper garbage disposal in poor ones.

Greenpeace tells a court that everyone knows its campaigns are based on opinions & interpretations rather than hard facts.

Greenpeace thinks people who spread 'misinformation' have no right to be heard. Yet, suddenly, it's waving the free speech flag.

A lawsuit by Resolute Forest Products, a logging company, to suppress Greenpeace’s environmental activism against its forestry operations was dismissed by a federal court. It targeted Greenpeace and Stand.earth’s freedom of speech and right to dissent, alleging the organizations engaged in racketeering and defamation against the company.
Annie Leonard, the executive director of Greenpeace USA, reacted:

Greenpeace on Tuesday accused a logging company of misusing federal anti-racketeering laws to attack environmental groups that criticize its logging in North America’s largest forest.
“This is a completely inappropriate remedy,” Greenpeace attorney Laura Handman said during a motion to dismiss hearing Tuesday. “[RICO] was originally designed to reach organized crime, but now it’s being used to reach environmental organizations.”

Coal-to-chemical projects, which convert coal to other chemical properties, including oil and gas, are extremely carbon intensive, accounting for roughly 3% of the country’s total CO2 emissions in 2012.

The cancellation and retirement of coal power projects in the world’s four key economies is making a profound impact on global efforts to limit climate change to 2C — and thereby stave off its most catastrophic consequences.
The amount of coal power in development globally was cut in half last year — down to 570GW from 1090GW one year earlier.

The supposed record comes from Esperanza. As Jim Steele at WUWT points out, Esperanza is at the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula, at a latitude of 63.4S, just about as far […]

"'People will mobilize again."

A recent investigation by the environmental organization Greenpeace uncovered unpublished field trials by pesticide manufacturers which show that their products cause serious harm to honeybees at high levels. Senior scientists are now calling for the companies to stop hiding the results of their tests.
