I agree that they are like terroists and they do stick up for terroists too as they have said in australia ,they took over a power station and were not charged ,they stopped the coal trains ,and were not charged ,they attack the japanesewhale boats and are not charged ,and with the rubbish that is not based on facts to get taxes is just wrong and verges on fraud considering that the navier model was not even proven and gore and his so called facts did not stand up in court at all ,the models were based on 100-1000 years and even 10,000 yrs in advance,now give me a break! no one can predict that far ahead correctly and the main point is no one can change the weather or cycles by doing anything like they say its impossible ,and they have the hide to call it facts ! its your taxes they want !!

@Melanie:
Sorry, but I’m not sure what you’re saying. I don’t know what the UN and the Taliban have to do with any of this. And I don’t see any evidence that “if anyone else did it they would be” charged with terrorism. In fact, the opposite is true: environmental and animal advocates have been labeled “terrorists” while right-wing groups who have actually used physical violence escape government scrutiny. Best, Will

Well it is true and they should be charged with terroism offences ,if anyone else did it they would be ,in new zealand they were caught with bombs and guns and yet were let off ,they use lies and scare doomsday tactics to rip money off everyone whilst the un who is running it is colluding with the taliban ,they are stcking up for terroists in bali and all in all are most likely mixed up with them in funding through the un by the sounds of it as they were caught with 19,000 on them at the time in afganistan,if nothing is done to them then anybody can do what they do and get away with it cant they ,they are far far left radicals and should be stopped!

Greenpeace have been called pirates before, this is nothing new.
The reason it is not so well known is because they never adopted it, they just said, no, we’re not, and let it go.
Other environmental groups, such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a law enforcement organization, acting within the principals of the UN world charter for nature, who send their ships out to try and stop those breaking the law, those who are killing marine wild life for profit, are also called pirates, terrorists, etc. The difference being that they adopt this, and even make it part of their image.
It doesn’t take much to be called these names, you just have to stand up and say that what big business or governments is doing is wrong.
It’s fucked, to be quite frank.
