Liberal Lie: Green Peace Leader Exaggerates The Truth On Global Warming

Written by: Uncle Seth The Noble on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Big Hollywood exposes the lie…

The outgoing leader of Greenpeace has admitted his organization’s recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was “a mistake.”  Greenpeace made the claim in a July 15 press release entitled “Urgent Action Needed As Arctic Ice Melts,” which said there will be an ice-free Arctic by 2030 because of global warming.

Under close questioning by BBC reporter Stephen Sackur on the “Hardtalk” program, Gerd Leipold, the retiring leader of Greenpeace, said the claim was wrong.

“I don’t think it will be melting by 2030. … That may have been a mistake,” he said.

Sackur said the claim was inaccurate on two fronts, pointing out that the Arctic ice is a mass of 1.6 million square kilometers with a thickness of 3 km in the middle, and that it had survived much warmer periods in history than the present.

The BBC reporter accused Leipold and Greenpeace of releasing “misleading information” and using “exaggeration and alarmism.”

Leipold’s admission that Greenpeace issued misleading information is a major embarrassment to the organization, which often has been accused of alarmism but has always insisted that it applies full scientific rigor in its global-warming pronouncements.

Although he admitted Greenpeace had released inaccurate but alarming information, Leipold defended the organization’s practice of “emotionalizing issues” in order to bring the public around to its way of thinking and alter public opinion.

So it basically looks like that they have now resorted to exaggerating the truth in order to facilitate a sense of urgency among political leaders and the general public. Well, if they are so unscrupulous as to manipulate the truth in regards to how fast the onset of global warming is affecting the planet, how than can we trust them with anything they say at all. In effect, it sheds a negative connotation on the entire climate change debate… I thought science was about presenting the facts!

Climate change is not a scientific debate anymore. It’s now all about getting Cap&Trade in every country in the world so that it becomes the world’s first Global Tax system. The UN will be the recipient of the revenue generated so the UN will begin the process of becomming the Government of the World.
The President will eventually be a puppet.
