Here’s a blog post at the Greenpeace site. Here are some excerpts:

Pressuring politicians on climate change is not working. We saw that in Copenhagen. Three months later, we also know why. Which is why the global climate movement now must do course-correction. We need to shift targets and go after the real termites that hollowed out and imploded Copenhagen.

Not Barosso, Obama or Wen Jiabao, but the real obstacles to the climate deal this planet deserves and demands. The oil and gas mafia running loose in New Delhi. The coal magnates that have Canberra by the short and curlies. The petrochemical giants that have placed a firm jackboot on the EU’s throat. The fossil fools and nuclear lobbyists that have Washington DC on speed-dial.

We need to hit them where it hurts most, by any means necessary: through the power of our votes, our taxes, our wallets, and more.

We need to be inclusive. We need to join forces with those within the climate movement that are taking direct action to disrupt the CO2 supply chain. We need to embrace the conservatives too, the ones that choose scientific rigour and court injunctions as their weapons.

And we need to inspire, engage and empower everyone in between… from the AirPlotters stopping the expansion of Heathrow by purchasing bits of the proposed runway to the volunteer activists that have been making life hell for fossil fuel lobbyists in the US.

[…]

Emerging battle-bruised from the disaster zone of Copenhagen, but ever-hopeful, a rider on horseback brought news of darkness and light: “The politicians have failed. Now it’s up to us. We must break the law to make the laws we need: laws that are supposed to protect society, and protect our future. Until our laws do that, screw being climate lobbyists. Screw being climate activists. It’s not working. We need an army of climate outlaws.”

The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.

If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.

If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this:

We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.

Hmmm…It would take a lot less than that to be accused of threatening lives in some sectors of the blogosphere. So is Greenpeace supporting this? This is where the plot thickens. They plastered this disclaimer in the post twice. They didn’t censor the post:

Greenpeace has almost 40 years of history as a peaceful organization. Two of our core values are:

• We ‘bear witness’ to environmental destruction in a peaceful, non-violent manner.
• We use non-violent confrontation to raise the level and quality of public debate.

This blog entry is about encouraging civil disobedience and non-violent direct action – the kind of peaceful methods that liberated Gene’s country (India) from imperialism.

I know Gene, and he’s a genuinely peaceful guy who believes in the power of peaceful protest to change the world. Some people are trying to portray him as otherwise. Just read what he had to say in context. He is very specific about what he thinks people should do.

While we encourage and appreciate discussion in the comments, do stay polite and don’t make death threats or incite violence. (Not towards our staff, not towards people we disagree with, not towards anyone. Please be nice people. Thanks.)

— Andrew (Greenpeace web producer)

So obviously, the producer saw what was being written, and saw that it was over-the-top, and yet thought that out of deference to “Gene”, he’d simply wash this by saying that they’re not really like this, but then leaving it stand.

Imagine that someone at Hot Air writes a guest post using the “N” word, and instead of deleting it, they just plaster a boilerplate up saying that it’s naughty. This is worse. This isn’t just an insult, it’s not even just a libel. It’s incitement. Yet, the post stands. Greenpeace is officially advocating lawlessness.
