I read in the paper that two Greenpeace nerds scaled the outside of the CN Tower and attached a huge sign saying "Bush and Canada: Climate Killers".

I think that they care more about getting attention, and people to sympathize with them than actualy saving the environment. Big cry-babies. "Save the Whales" "Save the rainforest" I'm all for preserving the whales and rainforests. but Greenpeace just goes around, wasting money on signs, and putting them on public buildings, and national icons, they should be using the money to buy parts of the rainforest around where farmers are expanding. so they have no where to go. or petitioning governments to make it illegal or some crap like that

"Bush and Canada: Climate Killers"

This is a very poorly written statement.

Bush and Canada
Bush is a man, not a country.

Climate Killers
Climate->Weather->Ecosystem

I fear that what Greenpeace needs most is educated and articulate speakers, not uneducated confused youngsters. If the individuals in this environmental organization are not educated in the differences between climate, weather, and ecosystem and their relationships, then Greenpeace is ruining its credibility and standing with pro-environment supporters.

Actually, most of the educated and articulate speakers LEFT Greenpeace when they realized that many of their goals were false.

There are several ex-Greenpeace higher-ups who make the rounds now, having come over to the anti-Kyoto crowd.

Me, I just love that scene from "Armageddon."
Harry Stamper, to the Greenpeace protesters in their old diesel boat: "Don't you know how much FUEL that old clunker burns?"

I saw the solution to the rain forest destruction the day I say "Congo".

Just teach the resident primates how to use machine guns (machetes).

Charlton Heston can lead the way to protect their right to bear arms. (potential conflict of interest: "Those dirty apes will give up their guns when we can pry them from their cold dead fingers".

What has this got to do with the Cartoon Network tower?
