is this an example of Irony?
"Greenpeace fined for reef damage
Their flagship Rainbow Warrior II ran aground at Tubbataha Reef Marine Park, in the Sulu Sea, 650km (400 miles) south-east of Manila.
Park officials said almost 100 sq m (1,076 sq ft) of reef had been damaged."
And this
" Greenpeace divers were at the Tubbataha park, off the coast of Palawan island, to inspect the effect of global warming on the coral reef.
The Rainbow Warrior escaped serious damage
Mr Constantino said the reef appeared to be healthy, with no evidence of bleaching which is believed to be caused by warmer sea temperatures. "
Just how much fosil fuel does that ship use while its damaging precious reefs?

You mean they actually had some credability to start with?
Once long ago. Now gone. Their leaders left when the supporters started to forget the science and simply display bigotry. Sad. Greenpeace had a purpose. Its time is past and I'm not sure any other good-science-based-pressure-group is rising to take its place...
TBH they did have a valid point when they started campaigning but they have become so bogged down in political wrangling and pseudo science that they have lost all direction and now seem to oppose most things. I think this is strongly shown by there fall from power in so many governments across the world.
I would gladly cast a vote for a party that had progressively logical and science based policies. There is nothing wrong with protecting our environment but every avenue should be explored on the way to forming policy.
There is still time for them to make a turn around and not become another footnote in history for them but they need to start reforming policies now rather than later.
