[INSERT ALARMIST FACT HERE]

Today while researching I stumbled upon a news article. Apparently Greenpeace accidentally leaked what was supposed to be a rebuttal to a speech about nuclear energy made by our former president. In this speech they made up alarming facts in order to garner support(read it here).

They released a statement after it was leaked stating it was meant as a joke. Haha? They still claimed that Nuclear meltdowns somehow cause plane crashes. Right, and I'm Bob Dylan.

That's embarrassing isn't it Abigail? Greenpeace has resorted to scaring the common man with false facts in order to gain support. I don't call that ignorant, I call that disheartening. I want to believe that Greenpeace is simply made up with people passionate about the environment, but it is beginning to seem like they are just money hungry.

So Abigail, how about you take a look at WWF's Annual Review?. They made close to a billion dollars in revenue, in which 60% of which from donations. That's nearly twice the income of Greenpeace, and they have never made up facts.


Besides, they have a panda mascot.
