Greens slam G8 over climate change

ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Environmental advocacy groups accused the Group
of Eight industrial nations on Sunday of failing to take seriously the problems
of climate change and the dangers of nuclear energy.

At a summit in St. Petersburg, the leaders of the G8 approved a statement that
acknowledged divisions among the world's top economies on promoting nuclear energy
and tackling climate change.

But the statement said those who favor nuclear energy -- six of the eight G8 members
-- see it as key to providing energy security amid booming global demand and as a
clean form of power that can help slow dangerous global warming.

Tobias Muenchmeyer, an analyst at anti-nuclear environmental group Greenpeace, said
acknowledgement of a split did not change the fact that the statement is strongly
pro-nuclear.

2. Greenpeace, as usual, is an organization composed of complete idiots.

How any one can confuse these people with an environmental group is one of the great mysteries of the universe, on a par with how people imagine the Pope to a person who is knowledgeable about what they call "God" allegedly the source of human ethics and morals and the fundamental origins of the universe.

Unquestionably the Greenpeace retards flew to their protests using credit cards provided by their Daddies and Mommies, on planes using lots of kerosene.

When people buy into the notion that Greenpeace is a environmental group and not a group for poorly educated religious middle class mystics, they are merely buying into another bit of media doublespeak.

Global climate change will not be solved without nuclear power. Germany is building coal plants like demons, faster than anyone else in Europe.

Germany is also a world leader in global climate change denial and world global climate change fraud:

The complete retards at Greenpeace have had nary a whimper on these topics. They are completely clueless.
