Greenpeace destroys the environment to promote the environment?

This is just nuts.
Environmental activists are building a replica of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat - where the biblical vessel is said to have landed after the great flood - in an appeal for action on global warming, Greenpeace said Wednesday.
Turkish and German volunteer carpenters are making the wooden ship on the mountain in eastern Turkey, bordering Iran. The ark will be revealed in a ceremony on May 31, a day after Greenpeace activists climb the mountain and call on world leaders to take action to tackle climate change, Greenpeace said.
“Climate change is real, it’s happening now and unless world leaders take urgent, decisive and far-reaching action, the next decades will see human misery on a scale not experienced in modern times,” said Greenpeace activist Hilal Atici. “Those leaders have a mandate from the people … to massively cut greenhouse gas emissions and to do it now.”
OK, this is just too stupid for me to even know where to begin.
- First of all, the primary greenhouse gas they’re complaining about is CO2. Trees LOVE CO2. Cutting CO2 emissions will just starve the trees.
- That doesn’t really matter since they’re KILLING THE TREES! What would those trees have done if they had not been chopped to death with an axe for the sake of Greenpeace? They would have been eating up the greenhouse gases Greenpeace is so afraid of.
- How freakin big will this wooden ark have to be to handle two of every animal known to man? How many trees will have to die? How much damage will be done to environment once they have stripped Turkey bare of all trees to build this behemoth WOODEN ark that will go nowhere or accomplish anything?
- Have they done an environmental survey to examine the rare species of animals and plant life that will be displaced or possibly thrust into extinction once their habitat has been destroyed in order for Greenpeace to build this wooden ark that can only hold two of them and go nowhere?Do they not realize that in order to enough water to return to Ararat to float their boat that destroyed the environment, we’d have to have an ice age? Pushing global warming by destroying all the trees won’t accomplish that.
- Have they considered the consequence of what would happen to the world’s environment, and climate, if people all over the world decided to do as they are, thereby destroying the entire planet’s ability to absorb CO2 emissions and causing runaway global warming. Or what future aliens will think of the human race when they visit Earth to find a scorched planet covered in arks?
These have got to be stupidest, most self-absorbed collection of people on the planet. PETA’s right up there by thinking man will rise in protest at the site of red-hot babes getting naked, but that doesn’t do any real harm. This one does.
I guess they’ll just do carbon offsets for all the damage they’ve done by giving cash to the Arbor Day Foundation? Now, there’s n environmental group that does it right.
