Environmental activist group Greenpeace is known for staging stunts that include unfurling banners on buildings in attempts to warn the world about the purported threat from manmade climate change. Today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen the group had the tables turned on them. Activists skeptical about the anthropogenic global warming theory raided Greenpeace’s ships and unfurled banners reading ‘Ship of Lies’ and ‘Propaganda Warrior.’

In a statement, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) executive director Craig Rucker said, “Greenpeace has been using these kinds of tactics for decades, and now they can find out what it’s like to have a little taste of their own medicine.”

According to the group, they utilized GPS and images from the Greenpeace ships’ onboard cameras to locate the Arctic Sunrise and Rainbow Warrior. The activists plied the crew of the Arctic Sunrise with donuts to distract them and unfurled a banner reading “Ship of Lies” over the side. They followed by sailing alongside Rainbow Warrior with a banner that read “Propaganda Warrior.”

CFACT president David Rothbard said, “Greenpeace ships, like the Rainbow Warrior and Arctic Sunrise, have become global symbols for radical environmentalism, and we wanted to call attention to the harm these groups are causing. And second, it seemed appropriate to use one of Greenpeace’s favorite tactics to make this point.”

CFACT has been at the summit holding its own rallies and seminars to “educate delegates and media from around the world that the climate change treaty is All Pain No Gain.” The group believes that there are other, more significant factors driving climate change beyond man’s influence.

Greenpeace is a mainstay of the environmental and global warming movement. The group has been known to resort to tactics that many say do more harm than good to the causes they support. In August, Gerd Leipold, Executive Director of Greenpeace, was forced to admit that his organization put out false and misleading information about the effects of climate change. CFACT said that the group had “radicalized its mission” and gone too far.
