Read here, here, here, here, and here. One would think that green organizations dedicated to protecting the environment would put the greening of the world before the "greening" of their pocketbooks. The evidence keeps rolling in that green activists are more interested in growing dollars.
Additionally, since Greenpeace et al demonize any opposing person or viewpoint as being funded by Big Oil dirty dollars, one would think the green organizations would refuse any dollar funding from, Big Oil. Nothing could be further from the truth - welcome to land of gargantuan environmentalism hypocrisy.
"The Washington Post also points out that Conservation International, another green group which insists climate change represents a "profound threat," has "accepted $2 million in donations from BP over the years and partnered with the company on a number of projects.""
"Funny, Greenpeace doesn't talk about that. Nor does it mention:
- that BP is funding research into "ways of tackling the world climate problem" at Princeton University to the tune of $2 million per year for 15 years
- that BP is funding an energy research institute involving two other US universities to the tune of $500 million – the aim of which is "to develop new sources of energy and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment"
The only dollar amounts Greenpeace cites in its explanation of why it decided to launch ExxonSecrets is that measly $2.2 million. Versus 10 + 2 + 30 + 500 + 100. Let's see, which all adds up to…wait for it…$642 million."
- that ExxonMobil itself has donated $100 million to Stanford University so that researchers there can find "ways to meet growing energy needs without worsening global warming"
