The words terrorists and piracy spring to mind! Grow up you muppets, and get a real job like the rest of us have to.

If you look up the meaning of those words you’ll see they clearly do not apply to Greenpeace.
-
IMO, all Greenpeacers should lead by example and stop using fossil fuels. That would earn you the respect of many persons.
-
We live in the same oil-dependent world as you, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight to change that dependence. We all do our best to uses as little as possible, but that is not nearly enough,
#climatechange is urgent and requires systemic change. -
Then, we need vast amounts of nuclear energy. Wouldn’t you agree?
-
No, we wouldn’t. We have the sun, the wind, hydro electric, wave power etc - an abundance of clean renewable energy.
-
In New Zealand, yes. But the emissions of your country are irrelevant. Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, North America need loads of nuclear to move toward a low CO2 economy.

Hey guys - you lot are supposed to
#BreakFreeFromPlastic - but your wimpish pirates are wearing plastic hard hats. Why?pic.twitter.com/Db4h7b09i1

The plastics campaign is about breaking free from plastic waste, not from plastic altogether. There’s some great uses for plastic and recycled plastic, like protecting the heads of courageous protesters!

Yet depends absolutely on a few of the myriad by-products of fossil fuels for some of your campaigns.pic.twitter.com/MnVyrX6ojp

That doesn’t change the fact that
#climatechange means we have to stop burning fossil fuels soon, and that means exploration for new oil is the wrong thing to do. -
"That doesn’t change the fact that
#climatechange means we have to stop burning fossil fuels soon." Stop with the crap. The climate has been changing for BILLIONS of years and will continue to do so whether we use oil or not.pic.twitter.com/ZkF0weUfQJ

That’s a dangerous mistruth. Yes the climate has and still does have natural cycles, but our use of fossil fuels has pushed it far beyond natural and it’s going to mean death and destruction if we don’t significantly curb greenhouse gas emissions fast.
-
"our use of fossil fuels has pushed it far beyond natural." No it hasn't. There's NOTHING happening to the climate now that hasn't happened before. Your misinformation is a disgrace to truth.

If Greenpeace was around at the beginning of the last century,
@nickofnz would be blaming these headlines on our SUV's.

International terriost this lot

This peaceful action and Greenpeace’s 40 year history of peaceful, nonviolent protest shows that isn’t true.
-
Um...isn't boarding a ship without permission a violation of maritime law and also considered piracy in some parts of the world? Peaceful or not, still illegal.
-
The whole history of
#peacefulprotest has been about pushing#legalboundaries to#makeapoint. Not always over the#legal#boundary but often. As it happens, there's are chance these protesters were initially welcomed on board. Sometimes that's the ship's policy.

You use and wear things that were produced thanks to oil ... hypocrites, double standards, attention seekers
