Oops! Relax, Greenland.

That’s Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace, admitting that his organization's recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was "a mistake." Greenpeace said in a July 15 press release that there would be an ice-free Arctic by 2030 because of global warming. That’s BBC reporter Stephen Sackur on his program, "Hardtalk," pressing Leipold into admitting that claim was wrong.

According to Greenpeace, distortions, exaggerations, and downright lies are acceptable in furtherance of the right cause – their cause. In such a case, misleading statements that distort, exaggerate, and spread falsehoods are deemed to be “wise, rational and reasonable” by these climate zealots. Science be damned.
