I trust Greenpeace. They do stand a ridge line on the climate crisis. They are also effective. They definitely capture the public's awareness of climate problems and educate them. Greenpeace has been around a long time. That type of establishment is important. Their morality is good. While their methods seem extreme, I assure you they are not. The methods are required in a world that is desperately struggling between political ideologies to stop this insane paradigm of petroleum energy. We can all do much, much better.
I would like to remind those that read this, there was a time when Hillary Clinton was a strong proponent of a measure John McCain backed to institute a Carbon Exchange. Below is a political commercial for action on climate from John McCain.

One of the presidential candidates (click here) is off to the Pacific Northwest today to talk up a big campaign pledge to combat climate change — and it’s a Republican.
John McCain is set to outline his proposal for offsetting global warming in a major address in Portland, Ore., this afternoon. His campaign says he’ll “propose a domestic cap-and-trade system that will mobilize market forces to develop and commercialize alternatives to carbon-based fuels” — a split from the Bush administration, which has largely ignored the topic....
There is a reason why I brought John McCain up and it is the fact while he had a scheme in Cap and Trade to address the climate crisis, he also was inconsistent in mitigating carbon dioxide in voting against new CAFE standards, etc.
Hillary Clinton after her years as First Lady of the USA, became A US Senator for New York State. She reached across the isle to Senator John McCain in hopes of forging legislation to drastically reduce greenhouse gases and the climate crisis. While she sought bipartisan support she did not end her votes at the door of the petroleum industry as John McCain did with items such as CAFE Standards for automobiles. CAFE standards determine greater efficiency in burning fossil fuels in cars. A vote for strong CAFE standards is a vote for Greenpeace.
The former Secretary Clinton never wavered. (click here)
As Senator, I will work for New York to get its fair share of federal mass transit funds and to increase the amount of money that goes to transit funds. And, I will vote to ratify the Kyoto Protocol to bring all nations together to address global warming and build a better future for us all.
It didn't matter the topic; if it was to continue greenhouse gas pollution by fossil fuels she was against it. If it was to subsidize the petroleum industry she refused to be a part of it. If it was to allow the petroleum industry permission to offshore drilling it was out of the question. She opposed drilling in ANWR and today we know the hideousness of that idea after Royal Dutch Shell first had a ship run aground and then after attempting to drill in the Arctic Ocean decided it was not worth it. At least there was no oil disaster in a very special ocean. It didn't matter the topic, when she voiced her vote, I would have voted the same way.
In the year of her time as Secretary of State she received the reports about KXL and stated she had no right to stand in the way of the project. Well. We all know that when the documents were submitted to her they were corrupted by the very company "TransCanada" seeking the permit to cross our sovereign border. The study was then rejected and when Secretary Kerry took over, the entire process was conducted with very loud, vital and valuable objections to the KXL. The KXL was stopped and rightfully so. Now, the failing petroleum industry wants to build the same exact pipeline without crossing the northern border. Why would this be any different than before? A pipeline by any other name is still a pipeline capable of doing enormous damage to very precious land of Native Americans and farmers.
THERE ARE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MILES AND MILES OF PIPELINES IN THE USA THAT CURRENTLY EXIST AND ARE OLD. REPLACE THEM FIRST!!!!!!!
The former Secretary has since withdrew any permission for such a hideous project in the future. Maybe that is why the petroleum industry wants to drive this NEW EDITION of the KXL through as quickly as possible. That didn't work either.
Secretary Clinton is steadfast on her values of the environment and long standing law of The Clean Air Act and The Clean Water Act. She recognizes the importance of the Endangered Species Act.
While she may have made a mistake in thinking a representative of Greenpeace was that of Senator Sanders, I believe she had every right to be annoyed at the idea she would compromise Earth for votes or Congressional and White House harmony.
She has never wavered and I won't either. She is a good friend to the climate, environmental and conservative organizations, their members and Americans that value our natural world, including National Parks, the US Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife. And let's not forget the United States Geological Survey in their study of the reality of post fracking seismic dangers most dramatically illustrated in Oklahoma. Damage to the North American Craton is no joke. It is serious and this is EXACTLY what everyone warned the federal government about in 2005 after Cheney gave the petroleum industry the right to destroy our land for the purpose of profits.
I have been a member of Greenpeace, have opposed every issue they have, too. I also believe we are in good company when realizing Hillary Clinton handles power of the USA government with vigilance when it comes to the health and well being of Americans and their relationship with our natural world.
