Greenpeace's spoiled brat greenies used an awful lot of fossil fuels to fly to Peru and get to that high altitude site and deface it.

............
Peruvians are livid over this stunt ( video here), and Greenpeace is “sorry”

Greenpeace later said it apologised “without reservation” for the offence it has caused and said it was “deeply sorry”.

A spokesman said: “We fully understand that this looks bad. Rather than relay an urgent message of hope and possibility to the leaders gathering at the Lima UN climate talks, we came across as careless and crass.”

Uh huh. Peru is looking to stop Greenpeace members involved from flying out of the country (wait, fossil fuels?), and they could face up to 8 years in jail. [ Oh, I hope so. ] Oh, and


(Greenpeace) said that Kumi Naidoo, the International Executive Directort of Greenpeace, would fly to Lima to personally apologise for the offence caused.
So, Greenpeace is super worried about the environment and the use of fossil fuels, therefore Naidoo will personally take a fossil fueled flight to Lima to apologize for the reckless actions of Greenpeace?
