To me, their worst crime other than their opposition to nuclear energy - the only real alternative to fossil fuels - is their efforts to sentence children to blindness by opposition to golden rice.

If they were driven out of existence by judgements, I personally would not grieve at all. They're not, to my mind, environmentalists. They're clowns, ignorant clowns, but clowns all the same.

To be perfectly clear, when I think of Greenpeace and their clowning, creatures like John Wayne Gacy come to mind. To me, they're quite nearly equivalent, since their activities lead to a rather pronounced death toll.

I say this in clear opposition to all dangerous fossil fuels and the CULTural and physical infrastructure that supports them.

Environmental issues are serious matters, and unserious responses are the opposite of useful.
