The founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, who led them to successful campaigns to ban nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere and the banning of baby seal slaughter, left the organisation he set up in the 1980s because he was disgusted at the scare tactics they used to campaign against nuclear power. Those tactics they use to this day -- huge banners dropped off bridges, people dressed as skeletons in front of bulldozers, that sort of thing.
I realised the harm that Greenpeace had done some years ago, and wrote about it, here. I thought I was the only one to realise this. To say something shocking like “the greenies have ruined the planet”.
But Elena too. And there are others. Greenpeace has been a net harm to the world has realised it *. That’s my conclusion. And they continue to be.
Part I of Elena’s "Greenpeace Lies" is here.

*ADDED: When I went to Antarctica in 2007 (twice!), I learned of something Greenpeace had done which was an unalloyed good: they campaigned to get rid of all the junk and rubbish the had accumulated at the various Bases. Countries did so, and it was indeed a Good Thing. Had they stuck to that sort of workaday fixing the environment, instead of nuclear scaremongering, the world would be a better place.
