Greenpeace actions have prevented whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary for seven days and certainly saved whales, writes our whales campaigner Rob Nicoll.
This is a note to the executives and lobbyists of some of the most powerful corporations on the planet - the coal, oil and gas sector, the energy utilities and the aluminium and automotive industries:
It was a stunning coincidence that 15 Greenpeace activists shut down Munmorah coal-fired plant on the same day Australia was ranked the world’s worst CO2 power emitter. The inconvenient truth for PM John Howard and opposition leader Kevin Rudd in this election is that coal causes climate change. The problem is simple and so is the solution - quit coal and save the climate.
