Yeah, Greenpeace promoting Bad Science is one of the reasons I don't support them. Same with Friends of the Earth. In theory, I'm a woolly ecological liberal who tries to be as green as humanly possible, but in practice, I can't give my support to organisations who use Fear Of Science instead of rational argument.
There was a language issue with the person I was arguing with on irc, and he did eventually agree with me, so it was all okay in the end. But the media really is bad for understanding scientific concepts and conveying them in simple terms to the population at large. Gah.
