Climate activists released - and need your support!

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/out-of-jail-060110




Climate activists are free!


Ask a friend to support our activists!

The "Red Carpet Four" activists - Juan, Nora, Christian and Joris - have been released by Danish authorities after spending 20 days detained in jail for staging a peaceful climate protest.

Thank you to everyone who supported our activists throughout their detainment - you sent thousands of letters to world leaders who failed to act in Copenhagen and Danish authorities who held the "Red Carpet Four" without trial - this pressure helped to ensure the freedom they regained today!

They were detained for a peaceful protest that demanded world leaders gathered in Copenhagen for the UN Climate Summit deliver the fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty we all expected. World leaders failed to do so.

We will not stop demanding this - and we will not stop staging peaceful protests. As we continue to put pressure on world leaders to deliver the climate treaty they should have completed at the Copenhagen Climate Summit we are going to need you - and more like you. 15 million people have already voiced their demand for a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty. If all of us asked just one more person to act in solidarity with us - imagine the message it would send.

Ask someone to join you now, ask them to send their own letter and show their support for non-violent civil disobedience to demand climate action - until climate action is what we get.

You can also help us celebrate the release of the "Red Carpet Four" - share this story on Facebook! Or if you prefer Twitter - tweet it!

While Juan, Nora, Christian and Joris have been released they are still facing trial. The more letters we send the more we tell Danish authorities that - in the face of climate change - the real crime is inaction!

Thank you for your continuing support!

All of us,
Greenpeace International

1. Greenpeace could do a lot for climate change by not dumping hundreds of millions of tons
of dangerous fossil fuel waste by having all of its abysmally informed "look at me" bourgeois clowns and freaks driving around doing stupid shit in order to pretend that they aren't, in fact, more dumb consumers.

Everytime I look at this picture of all the Greenpeacers who drove to a Swiss glacier to take off their clothes, I am reminded of that Emperor the fairy tale talks about:

Greenpeace is mostly notable for a scientifically illiterate membership that opposes the world's largest, by far, source of climate change gas free energy.

If I wanted to fund spoiled children for throwing tantrums, I would encourage my own kids to stop studying and to take up drinking.
