World leaders apologise for climate failure in Copenhagen airport ads

We're hoping these ads predict the wrong future -- the one where world leaders look back with a "coulda, shoulda, woulda" attitude at a Copenhagen climate summit which failed. There's still time to change the future. Our recipe for world leader regret-avoidance is simple: agree a fair, ambitious, and legally binding deal to save the climate.

if politicians are not able to find a deal to tackle a terrible threat such as global warming I wonder which is their function

This is unbelievably creative & impactful.. brilliant!

A wonderful AD idea to push actions.
Cool!!!

And Please Greenpeace heroes,
include livestock issue (such as meat and diary tax) in your climate campaigns aside clean energy for the sake of facts and the hungry and all beings, including animals, plants...

" YES , YES , YES ,

GOOD WORK ,,,,,,,,,,, " ,

I feel so sorry for these people. It's like they're too stupid and immature to understand what's going on. Mr. Obama and the most of them have children and grandchildren or something. If they don't care about us why they don't care for their own families? Can they be SO selfish? Can't they understand that money can't make the difference? IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY YOU ASSHOLES. DO SOMETHING. IT'S YOUR TURN TO DO A CHANGE. AND PROBABLY THAT'S THE CHANGE WE NEED.

Before our earth not compromise with us,we can ask all of mankind for compromise to this world.

I hope you guys didn't forget to put our 'beloved' president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in this list too.
He is guilty as charged, for haven't done anything strong enough to stop the deforestation in Indonesia.

I felt a chill looking at these. Very effective - let's hope they're not apocryphal.

Where is China?????????

very good!

Wow... I nearly started crying when I saw this. A very grim and dismal projection of the future. God help us all...

Excellent communication work, as usual. Congrats. But is this photoshop or really on Copenhagen airport walls ?

wow, Obama, Merkel, Sarkozy, Harper and...... DONALD TUSK? it's great to have such popular prime minister!

Hi!

I always wonder if you (greenpeace) are only a device in some rich hands to influence current politics.

When I look at your people (greenpeacemakers) they always seem to have their own failures in their lives and therefore focus on greenpeace activity.

I would love to be wrong but so far it seems I am not.

Zenon

Dajcie sobie siana !!!
Klimat sam się zmienia i nic temu nie pomorze, sami nie wierzycie w to co robicie !!!

pictures are nice and well done:) but the idea itself is faild and wrong! you ecoterrorists are cheating people and have no responsability for what you are doing. it is a business you do and unfortunately we have to pay for that. hope one day people open their eyes and kick you out from high positions you are now. go to honest job!!!

Tusk, I told You.

Great :)

good idea :)

I wonder if such posters make the politics think about the problem. There are although two missing among the rest - leaders of Russia and China. According to my knowladge those countries are the biggest threat to the environment.

Shame on you, Mr.Tusk, you notorious lier.

one of the roman ceasars ordered his soldiers to flog a sea with the chains, because that sea didn't want to calm down by ceasar's demand. What was a lot of fun for drunk soldiers, is not so funny when it grows to the size as here and all of the stuff around the climate changes...

@Henriel The images are grim, but we are hoping they don't predict the future! We're hoping they show our leadership exactly the future they should be working to avoid.
@Phillipe Definitely on the actual walls of the Copenhagen airport - delegates and media arriving for COP15 this week have already noticed them!
@Zenon & @truth Greenpeace doesn't accept donations from corporations or governments - so we are only 'in the hands of' our supporters.

tak na wszelki wypadek, jakby nie wpuscili po angielsku: pewien cesarz rzymski kazal swoim zolnierzom chlostac morze, kiedy to nie uspokoilo sie na jego prosbe. Co bylo zabawne dla pijanych legionistow, przestaje byc smieszne kiedy rozrasta sie do takich rozmiarow jak cala hucpa ze zmianami klimatu...

Donald jeszcze bardziej poddoby do dziadka.

Climat warming is bull shit.

Scientists cannot prove it

why people don't believe they have impact on climate? A lot of people claims that it's a fake!

GP manipulating us all the time, there is no thing like global warming. Earth have periods, some is warm or cold. Its determined by sun mostly. This organization made global co2 tax to suck money from us and this is main goal of this organization. Tell me why Greenland is call Greenland instead Whiteland?

Ciemniaki... Klimat zmieniał się na tej planecie już wielokrotnie, i to bez ingerencji człowieka. A nawet jeśli to nasza wina, to co? Mamy nagle zaprzestać z korzystania z energii elektrycznej? Przesiąść się na konie? Prać ręcznie, a obiady se gotować nad ogniskami?
Greenpeace zaczyna przesadzać. Z rozsądnej (w miarę...) organizacji przekształca się w ekoterrorystyczną bandę, która patrzy tylko na siebie i swe "szczytne" cele.

BUT there is no climat change caused by humans?! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?!?
Are You SO ARROGANT?

Dlaczego ci cali EKOLODZY sa takimi AROGANTAMI i nie rozumieja co naukowcy mowia o zmianach klimatu spowodowanych naturalnymi kolejami rzeczy a nie dzialalnoscia czlowieka?
Klimat sie zmienia a czlowiek jest za maly i za smieszny zeby sie do tego znaczaco przyczynic.

the old zapatero looks a bit like Joseph Fritzl;P

China, India, Brasil... No, those countries will not see this pictures, will not see us with beautiful animals and flowers, will not give us any money - so let's forget...

Tusk is proud that he is on the poster
and the environment - he does not know what it is

MASSIVE CLIMATE-CHANGE BY MANKING BULLSHIT!!!

great. I hope the diplomates arriving this week look and learn.

stupid

yes for forcing governments to reduce the CO2 emission, yes for stoping the pollution - but it does not affect the global warming, for gods sake! are you completely insane to believe, that human kind became almighty and can change the global calimat wherever at will? there were so many global warmings in the history of earth, and there was so much more CO2 in the air then now - long before fishes walked out of the seas. how do you explain that??

Yeah, very good idea!

proposal for greenpeace billboard:
"we could have stopped our stupidity... but we didn't.
sorry"

where is Russia, India, China??

Great.. but where is biggest climate action blocker
Stephen Harper???

making me wasting my money for the climate warming fight, when in fact it is in its cooling stage is a simple stupidity ;-) congratulations green folks 4 a nice campaign.

I hope it will NOT work.

@Carola - He's the very last picture. I can understand why you didn't recognize him ... he's looking pretty rough!

I don't believe in global warming caused by human. I I think that CO2 is important, but it couldn't be the biggest Earth's problem. What about rain forest, danger species, clear water? We must to focus on another problems which we can change, thing which we can improve, climat is to complicated for small people with there politics.

By the way, for Donald Tusk it's good that he is here, near the most powerfull people.

And where is China?

I have to agree with m... this is just a waste of money! There is no global warming. All you greenpeace activists are being manipulated into fighting something that doesn't exist. I kinda feel forry for you.

Another thing is that putting the "apologies" in quotes is in my opinion very unfair. They've never said that and there's no way they would ever say so to turn things around I would love to see a poster of a greenpeace follower wearing winter jacket in 2020 with his apologies in quotes "I'm sorry for being wrong in 2009. Global warming is a big fat lie!"

Witam. (Welcome).
Na klimat wpływa wiele czynników:
1. Słońce i jego poziom aktywności.
2. Rozłożenie prądów morskich chłodnych i ciepłych co ma przełożenie na klimat
3. Stężenie CO2 w atmosferze i zanieczyszczenie środowiska.
To tylko 3 punkty, ale można dopisać o wiele więcej. Popatrzcie na historie jak bardzo się klimat zmieniał, XVI-XVII wiek Bałtyk całkowicie zamarzał, a X w. Grenlandia była zielona.

Phenomen -

All the major scientific bodies disagree with you. (ie. Everyone from NASA to the Royal Society thinks climate change is real, dangerous, and something we should do something about.


Of course, you're welcome to your own opinion.

How cute... But Greenpeace seems to forget that in Middle Ages the average temperature on Earth was a bit higher than it is today. How it was possible then? King Richard had his own factory? Was then any Rockefeller who ran a polluting manufactorung plant and oil refinery? Who was responsible for that?
It is naive to think that we, people, can stop climate changes. Our contribution into this is as little as a drop of water in a sea.
I would like Greenpeace think how to decrease man's fertility, how to cope with overcrowding, how to manage polluting the environment with not smoke from our factories, but with ourselves. They should promote model "one family - one baby", like in China.

Nice campaign! Really getting the message across. What politician wouldn't b scared by the might of their ageing face.

For all you that think climate change is real. Simply your are wrong.

Science has proved that the globe is warming and it is due to human actions. Do your research before making such outrageous claims.

Shame on you for being no naive.

good... i like that

where is Susilo bambang Yudhoyono(SBY) from indonesia ? :D

indonesia have a large amount of tropical rainforest... so SBY should considered as these ad "models" ...

lets imagine , sby doing nothing to deforestation in indonesia

Great campaing. However a banner with Hu Jintao is missing

yes we can...,
change the world

My god, there are some TRULY arrogant & supremely ignorant people posting comments here! How unbelievably blind and selfish must a person be to believe that they can breed like cancer, consume like a vacuum cleaner and smother the planet with the waste from their Effluent Lifestyle and yet have no effect?

To anyone who blindly believes nothing's going wrong with Planet Earth, I'm ashamed to share genes with you. Stupidity that immense makes me feel physically ill.

A great campaign! Congratulations for the thinkers! Well Done!

post is in english so write comments in english too.
to Poles:do polakow. nie robcie dziadostwa na zagranicznych forach takiego jak na polskich. wlasne kompleksy zostawmy nad wisla i nie robmy nam wszystkim obciachu niezaleznie komu sprzyjacie na zewnatrz.widzicie na forach europejskich poluwajacych sie nawzajem niemocow czy francuzow? jak mamy byc powazni to zachowujmy sie powaznie

Ugly! Poor Lula above old darken his skin looks like a "preto 'véio' da Umbanda", only lack white clothing, necklaces, tub and walking stick... Horrible!

Fantastic, however, I don't think Harper, in particular, is coming from a place to say "I'm sorry" now or in the future.

Boa ideia

Indonesia is the 3rd largest emitter of co2 & 1st in deforestation of rainforest.Orangotang appeals to the civilized people "save us Pliz".

We should no more keep eyes blind.Stop deforestation & protect your futuer generation.

What a wonderful idea!!!! When will these people understand that they work for us!!!!!!!! The poeple united with one thought: we want peace, we want oour planet saved, we want the madness to stop!!!

stupid idea!
We remeber what grennepace do in grenland! When They filmed advertisement about kills animals, grennepace was killing animal!

... "save The World - kill yoursef"... this is what i think about your war about CO2 etc.

Well done. Where is Al Gore?

Ja gut witz... herr Tuske mit Angela... Doch Polen bedeutet nichts

Niech żyje Jaruzelski!

Nice work! Little comment: it would have been nice if the words were in the country's first language. Happy there is one about Harper!

You really still believe it's people's fault? Seriously?

Thanks to some brave hackers the global warming myth has been debunked. Now those behind the Climategate should disappear from the political scene. There must be a strong rebuff to the crazy idea of the emission trading system which in fact was meant to finance the world government. Down with the New World Order!

Sprawa poważna, zatem podpisuję się imieniem i nazwiskiem.
Powaga sprawy polega na tym, że tworzycie show godne Spielberga albo Lukasa - idee Greenpeace to bzdura, którą znają wszyscy, wszyscy lubią i hołubią - efektowna i głośna, a mająca z rzeczywistością tyle wspólnego, co walka rycerzy Jedi z Imperium.

I'm sorry. We could spend 10 trillion dollars to aid poor ( or whatever ), instead of fighting virtual climate change... Btw, did anybody mentioned that if there were twice as much CO2 in air, global temperature wouldn't even grow by 1 C.

Wonderful campaign! I would like it extended to Howard, Rudd, Wong, Abbott, Brumby, and above all, Minchin, all Australian politicians who know better! 1.5% of global GHG comes from Australians directly and another 2-3% through exported coal etc

It's high time. WAKE UP!! It's NOW or NEVER..

Dear all,

come on it is about surviving. If people cannot make a deal climate change is cased by humans or it is natural, I agree with first alternative. But anyway climate change is a fact, so if we want to survive we have to act!!!Now!

@Andrew

Thanks for being so tolerant for people with different opinions.

I'm not saying that the climate is not changing. I'm just saying that it a completely normal thing and it already happened in the past. As much as the human kind would love to think that we have enough power to affect the planet that much, the truth is that climate change (and not a very major one) is happening with or without us.

I'm against spending billions of dollars on environmentalists that try to scare us into thinking that without this money, we are all doomed.

When I hear this call for money, I can't help myself but think about the Egiptian monks who scared people with the help of solar eclipse to get their money and make them slaves.

You're falling for the same thing, just the Monks are now Scientists and Environmentalists.

Don't support the global WASTE of MONEY. Support fighting poverty instead!

Great Global Warming Swindle - that's all.

Global Warming will amplify the El Nino phenomenon- causing Superstorms/Superweather events as shown in all the weather disaster movies.

(My prediction for 21/12/2012 is there will probably be an El Nino like the World has never seen before...that will change the face of the planet.)

What do you think ?

Very intelligent campaign.

We want Copenhagen to succeed, but the situation is very desperate.

At least, we continue to convinve the Spanish NGOs to impose pressure upon the Spanish Government which doesn't comply with Kyoto.

And by the way: fighting climate change and poverty are two sides of the same coin! We need equity now!!

perfect, need the china president......the bad guy in the world

Great Idea. Sure the planet had a lot of global warming's, all of them natural, Human beings are destroying the equilibrium nature had created, and that is not being a natural process! It's arrogant to say that We, as a dominant species, have the right to do so! I can't believe the level of arrogance of our leaders... can't they grasp how small each one of Us are? And the kind of respect we MUST have to inhabit this planet? we're playing with OUR fragility... and that's something we ALL (species of the planet) are going to pay for, sooner or later! Keep up the good work!

Tusk is my Idol. I love you, men ;d He is really handsome, and as we can see it won't change!

These are great my response 11 years from now "Apology not accepted!"

Great! :( But maybe our future!!

Greenpeace - YOU FRAUDS! THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND CLIMATE CHANGE - U SCUM ARE WORKING FOR ONZ/NWO BASTARDS (SWINE FLU SCAM)

Poland?! What?!?!?!?!
Now you are seeing our country?!?!

Better you help us to build nuclear power station, becouse we didn have even one....

interesting campaign, but the truth is the global warming is a hoax

@ Laura@GPI

Read your lines to my comment again and think carrefully...

Do you really believe that in politics/business work silly people? Of course the won't support you officially!

There are two kinds of your "supporters". Those who need you and those who believe in you.

First ones win, others loose.

Sad but true.

I will quote with pleasure "Go and find an honest job!"

Zenon

@ Laura@GPI

Need and example?

Go and search on Google:
Al Gore University of East England Leak

Any comments?

Zenon

Since these politicians grew old and saw 2020, there is nothing to worry about for another 10 years. :)) I am just joking. We've got to do somethning or we wont see 2020.

..people leading the world...do not care about the world..its pathetic,...

I don't get what's taking so long. Don't we all want a healthy planet?!

Shame on you guys. Climate change is one big bulshit. I'm sorry for you Greenpis xD but you've been fooled.

Poetic and yet so justified too as politicians the world over fail us all.

For me it's an absolute and clear message to world leaders that they must not fail us now; not this time - not again.

Excellent !!!

@jz

"GP manipulating us all the time, there is no thing like global warming. Earth have periods, some is warm or cold. Its determined by sun mostly."

Unfortunately, Global Warming does exist. And it operates through a very valid and well known system. Its used in greenhouses. More CO2 into the atmosphere will cause the temperature to rise. If the temperature goes up, the earth become warmer. If it becomes warmer, ice will melt. Sea levels will rise because of this. And because of the feedback nature of the system, it is self reinforcing.

The argument for the sun has been invalidated time and time again. We can measure the output of the sun and while it goes through active and passive phases, the rise in global temperatures does not follow that cycle. Instead, the trend is following that of CO2 in the atmosphere. In other words, if the Sun cools, the temp goes up. If the sun warms, the temp goes up.

The problem here is not saying Global Warming does or does not occur - it does, as we can see with Venus or by simply walking into a greenhouse - but to what extent man is responsible for it, and what measures, if any, can be/should be taken to help. Warmer temperatures can mean many things. It can boost food production in some areas, and turn current breadbaskets into deserts. It can means floods, drought, loss, gain. Some areas will benefit. Others won't. Perversely, it could even mean an Ice Age in the Northern Hemisphere.

Higher world temperatures doesn't mean everyone gets to bask in the sun.

The trouble with the argument about not spending money to fight Global Warming is simple. Fight it or not, if its occurring to the degree stated, it will cost money. Either money is spent to try and stop the temperature rise as much as possible and so limit the effect as much as possible. Or money is spent dealing with the aftermath, the droughts, the floods, the mass migrations and the loss of entire nations to the sea.

Even were the matter to ultimately be due to the Sun, it would possibly be worthwhile trying to limit CO2 because that, in turn, is a known, proven greenhouse mechanism which would amplify that heating effect.

So - is global warming occurring? The evidence suggests that it is. Sea levels are rising, weather is more variable than ever, average temperatures worldwide have risen very, very fast over the past few centuries.There seems to be no evidence of any link with the cycles of the Sun. and so on.

If it is occurring...why is it occurring? Is mankind THE primary cause? Or is he just amplifying the effect? If mankind is having an impact, should we spend money to stop it, or deal with the aftermath until a new balance is reached?


@Phenomen

You are right there are climate cycles. You are right it has happened in the past. Has it happened this quickly in the past is one question that needs to be answered? Another is...even if it has happened in the past - does that mean we should stand by and do nothing now?

As it is, Nations are already reporting large rises in sea levels and the loss of their coastlines. Weather extremes are becoming more and more common. Global temperature is rising at a very fast rate. Food production is being hampered by losses due to unseasonal or poor weather. This has all happened before....but the trend is seeing these incidents more and more often.

So, some of the possible repercussions are drought, famine and war and large scale loss of life. Less extreme would see mass migration to countries such as the US and Europe. Or we may just all get a nice tan.

Is the climate changing? You would seem to agree that it is. For you, the question would seem to be how much are you willing to pay NOW to try and limit that change to one the world can cope with? Or are you willing to risk the possible consequences that will possibly arise in the next 30 years or so and pay the cost - possibly much greater - at that time?

Aside from all the failures to look at one iota of the science, the image is grim, grim indeed. Is this an image of failure not only of career politicians but of failure of government to govern ?

Oil companies are hiring undercover operatives to undermine the climate change protagonists.

Oil companies (or should I say energy companies) are wanting to move in to renewable / green energy initiatives but they haven't cornered the market yet, so I reckon they've got a 5-10 year plan, but for that plan to work they need to slow down the protagonists.

This highlights one of the downsides of capitalism!

China adds a coal fired power generating plant each day. No criticism there, it's a 'developing' country, so their CO2 is clean and inoffensive.

OTOH, those evil Canadians and their evil society, with their evil oil sands and evil PM, are just evil capitalists. Their CO2 is many times more evil than the clean pure CO2 expelled by China.

Let's finish off Canada, because China is such a good and pure society, and their pollution is not polluting.

i am sorry to say this is not a mistake of the world leaders,this was the mistake of the country people, they elected this kind of irresponsible leaders i request to the country people please elect a good leader who can save this planet

Where are the billboards for Tony Abbott and Nicholas Minchin from Australia?

by Muriel from Greenpeace. We do not have billboards featuring Tony Abbott at the Copenhagen airport (at least not yet) since he is not attending the climate summit.

The only thing this campaign creates is making 'sorry' feel so insincere.

hi i'm sick because of global warming the world is sick because of the global warming the birds flu the h1n1 the hurricans the volcans the disasters the tsunamis the katrina the rita the papilla all the names the floods the diseases the new allergies the hole of ozon is bigger is bigger is bigger now;i read these textes since 15 years what they did nothing it's time to moove moove to protect the nature & animals plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz moove i crying sometimes for the nature & animals destroyed by the humans they dnt care why why why plz moove it's a global danger it's a hard truth it's the really inconvenient truth like al gore said it's hard to stay in the same place & condemns.come on humans it's a danger for all the races all the religions all the languages all the world all the earth all the earth.after a little years we will nt be able to enjoy the trips it's will be a great disasters in all the world no tourism no life no climat no animals no nature nothing it will be a hard life if we will nt working hard to save our lonly planet everyone in this world should working hard we will using all our capacities our power our means to workd for the nature & animals so so so do something for the life of our children our sons our daughters our generations our life our health our lovely & lonly planet hey all the breligions jews christians muslims hindus buddhist athets all the humans plz moove it's a great a hard a biggest the worst danger the global warming the real inconvenient truth.
i worked 3 years with this music for the nature & animals but believe me if we will nt moove after a years we will nt be able to heard these nature tunes of animals & birds we will nt heard the songs of jungles the wild animals it's sad very sad.
after a few years we will nt be able to hear the sounds of birds the tunes of nature the songs of animals.it's will be impossible to enjoying the music of john st john it's a disaster.

VERY Good... I like that

This is just an excellent campaign with a perfect message and excellent creative.

Thanks GREENPEACE for your work!!!

Greenpeace .. Ignore the climate change deniers. They are the ones who got us here. They have denied what real science has seen coming for over thirty years. They have a different agenda and they don't care about their (or your)children, grandchildren etc. Global climate change has indeed happened before, but not this fast and we know the results from it. Mass extinctions and millions of years to recover. It certainly will happen again, but we don't need to ignore it so we can hasten it along.
Good Job Greenpeace, as usual!

Great job! maybe you can post some pictures with as text "I'm sorry... I'd tried to stop catastrophic climate change"

than use pictures of the leaders from the Pacific Island nations (like FSM, Palau, RMI)and show their sunken islands...

Thanks Muriel for your comment. The billboards are a great idea. It was the Senate in Australia that blocked Rudd's ETS. Nick Minchin, the Liberal Opposition Leader (climate change sceptic) in the Senate triggered the party shift to block the ETS. Until then, the Liberal Opposition was negotiating amendments with the Government to pass the ETS. Tony Abbott is Nick Minchin's puppet.

The billboards make the front page internet news here in Australia. It has more impact here than in Copenhagen for Aussies. Australia needs to see Tony and Nick on the billboard - even if it is a patch up job. Malcolm Turnbull, the former leader of Liberal Opposition believes in doing something positive about climate change as does Rudd.

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/editorial/minchins-climate-conspiracy-20091111-i9wf.html

amazing...it is for us also....change...

The global warming deniers prefer to avoid seeing the-nose-on-their-face because by seeing it they must face reality. They don't wish to make any sacrifices to their wasteful, selfish lifestyles. Or in the case of some politicians, they don't wish to offend corporate contributors and sacrifice the "big bucks" and political power they are addicted to.

As for the world leaders who many here are accusing of not caring; to be fair, you must keep in mind that most of these leaders are not monarchs who possess the power to decree new policy on their own. They must lobby for cooperation within their governments as well as with "big business". Barack Obama, for example, has almost all of the republicans and a few democrats fighting against him to prevent any change in energy policy.

It's very easy to over-simplify the issue. Much more difficult to make real change happen.

Unfortunately, politicians rarely see beyond the next election. Until the US, China, India and Russia are committed to fighting climate change, it will be a futile fight. Being dominated by corporations, all countries put money ahead of the environment.

This ad campaign was very well done. Very chilling, which is what Greenpeace is going for.

That being said, global warming is a scam. I'm all for clean energy (solar & wind), but not when it goes to pad the Swiss bank accounts of certain elites. *cough*Gore*cough*

I would like to see more clean energy. If there's going to be a monopoly on it though, oh well. The status quo will be preserved.

good work Greenpeace. the pictures are great....only hope i look as good as they do in 2020....also hope that the politicians actually notice them as they go by, and take them to heart, such that they might actually DO something for a change.
by the way, it's very interesting to me to see that our dear Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, is so well known in the world...even folks in Brasil know that he is a foot dragger in the Environmental movement...but then the previous government wasn't any better really...that's politics. they can't look beyond the next election..and gotta keep all those folks who got them INTO office happy with preferential treatment...which unfortunately results in no movement in attempting to slow climate change.

Yup....
It's great....
For all greenpeace supporter it's wonderful idea..
thank you for save our planet.....

very good idea
on n'espere rien d'eux ces bureaucrates, imperialistes...il faut se battre pour atteindre nos objectifs.
sauvons la terre par nous memes

This is a good idea, but it doesn't change that you guys, are a bit overreacted. We do not care about the climate - that is true , but it doesn't change the fact that it is a natural cicle that the climate is changing.. global warming , pole shifts and so on - it is NATURAL. We are accelerating it just a little bit.

And btw. good idea but it is fake - try doing it 4 real , not using 3dmax or photoshop

Why anyone doesn't do it Yudhoyono style? I mean, Indonesia's darn destroyed.

On the posters we could't to see prime ministers of
Russia or China. It's clear who's the sponsor of Greenpeace

Nice to see my prime minister in such esteemed company. I'm really proud of Polish leader. We can't let the lie of climate change will destroy our economy. By the way Polish statement is also backed by some others EU members like Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Baltic States, Romania, Bulgaria,...
I worked last year at the summit in Poznań, and I saw the manipulations, the lies, the waste and the hypocrisy

Thank you very Much Reach People!!

great looking and creative campaign!

i look at some of the anti greenpeace comments in wonder, but also a with a smile. Some of you have truly fallen for some weird right-wing propaganda. That greenpeace should be the instrument of rich people, what what what? All the people i know that are active in the movement, truly loves nature, and cares for it. There is no hidden agenda, hidden agendas are something that big corps often have, and it makes sense; to maximize profits. Why would someone have an "evil" i- want to save-earth and delude people agenda? makes NO sense. Don't read shit media people, you are emberassing yourselves... Read between the lines, understand peoples intentions. (off course there is always some rotten tomatoes in between)

:)

Please to place a translator to several languages, among other SPANISH

No one of this politician is really interested in saving the world. They must carry on budget and their politician fraction. And who will remember of their today decissions for 12-15 years...

Fantastic Photos!
Can I use them on my Blog?

Thanks
Joachim

Sure thing!

Laura - Greenpeace International

Here we go again...

Man made global warming is a SCAM! And YOU should know it. This has nothing to do with human activity. It's all about the sun activity and the periodic warming and cooling of our climate, which has happened already thousands times before.

All those conferences are all about "how to pull out more money from people's pockets"!!! In fact, this is taxing breathing. Can't you see, stupid people? And YOU are HELPING THEM (politicians) to achieve their goal. It's outrageous!

Quite fantastic, these ads. I hope they do some good.
Not feeling optimistic at this point.

Good campaign.

I don't know how anyone can deny global warming. It's like denying the aging of cells, death, or the transmission of aids (yeeeeeaaaah, use no condoms, aids doesn't exist)
some things are facts, and ignoring them is just convenient and dangerous naivity. and please stop saying this is all about stealing money from your cupid pockets!! It's about saving your ass, your children's ass, and if you do care only about you, it will make you SAVE money to start living another life.

What about the prime ministers of China and India? Or, the leaders of OPEC? Shouldn't they apologize as well?
