Greenpeace

I think it is clear that, overall, people do not care enough about the oceans and its wild life. Global warming is making ocean temperatures higher, which is killing sensative organisms, such as coral. Next we have pollution and trash dumping in the coastal areas, the consequences of which are completely obvious. And now when we thought we had a victory (a partial victory, but a victory never the less) Iceland comes along and undoes it. Once again, greed and complete apathy towards the environment are making this world a very dark place. Future generations are going to look back on us the same way we look at practices from the Middle Ages, which, if done now, would be considered ignorant and barbaric. When future people look back at our treatment of the environment, they will consider it the same as we consider those practises

Hey! I just joined the online community and I want to know how to become an actual member of Greenpeace. Could someone send me some info or some tips? Thanks.

Bush announced this past week that the US will introduce climate change and greenhouse gas reduction at this years Group of 8 summit. He claims that he will call for other nations to start more measures to reduce greenhouse gases. Now, wouldn't the first step to this be going back and ratifying Kyoto? It can be done. Just introduce it in Congress and it would get passed by the Democratic majority (if they finally lived up to their campaign promises). But no, he's calling for post-Kyoto plans. So basically global warming isn't going to kick in until after Kyoto expires is what he wants to tell us. The world won't change until then so we can just keep polluting to our hearts intent until then.

Does anyone else see the tactics in this? Promise nothing until at least 2013, when he's long gone (except for his legacy of dead soldiers, destroyed Alaskan wilderness, huge oil interests, and millions of pounds of literal hot air, both emission and speech related). Now there's a tactic for you. It looks like he is doing something when in reality he is doing nothing, just to shut people up about how he does not care. He does not care that even now global warming is changing our planet in drastic ways that will have drastic consequences. Will people open their eyes? Will they see the light of what has really happened? Will America finally come out of the strom to find that the world is in trouble and it will take every one of us to help?
