Greenpeace - oh what have they become :(
andycwb:
When you realise that the founders of Greenpeace left in disgust after the organisation become subverted by the anti-capitalist movement, it all starts to make sense.

mmmm A few more points to raise!
--- Quote --- I never said that. Of course 4x4s aren’t the only ones with high emissions. The reason we target them is this – they are a growing fashion accessory that is threatening the trend in emissions reductions. Sometime in the early nineties SUVs gained popularity in the United States, a trend was born that recently reached its apex with almost half US vehicle purchases being SUVs. The result? A steady downward trend in emissions per km in the US fleet became a spike. And with it the attendant climate dangers.

So why don't they put more effort into the campaign into the American compliance to the Kyoto treaty. Which G.W. Bush said America would never sign. If there great leader won't agree to reduce the emissions for the industry do they think that the public will go down the same route and reduce emissions for their cars voluntarily? Then there was the Bonn compliance, But then that needs Russia to come into to line and comply with what is being said.
There is bigger fish to fry in the big industrial nations than just the few who drive vehicles who might emit a fraction of the carbon these factories produce.
Then why are they not actively campaigning and trying to bully all those who travel on aircraft. As the big commercial airlines are the ones who produce the most pollution in the traveling world. Why call all those who use airlines all those horrible names?
No they are picking on the 4x4 as it is a small minority that can be easily singled out and therefore they can be targeted and then victimised! :twisted:
--- Quote --- And all because of a fashion. Now, that fashion for urban 4x4s crept over the Atlantic, but we were ready to counter it, and that’s what we’re doing. We’re trying to counter a trend that, when unchecked in the US, resulted in higher emissions and greater dependence on foreign oil.

So maybe not a time to tell them that the Range Rover and the Disco kind of founded the current idea of the SUV :wink:
Just a few ideas to be going on with.

Dave,
As someone with a £75,000 RR *AND* an offroader I can see both sides. However I do use my "statement" in the way it was meant to be too....but alas, many do not.
Sadly they eed to attack ALL drivers - not just us. But as the nice lady that was on TV said to me "4x4's are an easy target...."
