This is the face on environmentalism today – publicly issued threats from Greenpeace

I find this sort of thing slightly troubling, but mostly I see it as just behind the scenes business as usual, only written down instead of part of the usual meeting rhetoric.

We need to hit them where it hurts most, by any means necessary: through the power of our votes, our taxes, our wallets, and more. … The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism. If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like. If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.

“…but you be few”

Yeah sure, whatever you say. Newsflash to Green Gene from Greenpeace India who wrote this.

Seen the latest US Gallup poll?

Gallup: Americans’ Global Warming Concerns Continue to Drop

Or maybe this one in the UK?

Inconvenient truth in Britain – scepticism on the rise – only 26% believe climate change to be man-made

Or How about this one in Germany?

SPIEGEL Survey: How Germans Feel about Climate Change

Or the fact that the French gave up on carbon taxing?

French give up on carbon tax plan – for now

I’d say you and your friends are mightily outnumbered. h/t to WUWT reader “kwik”
