Greenpeace builds Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat

12 Environmental activists are building a replica of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat - where the biblical vessel is said to have landed after the great flood - in an appeal for action on global warming, Greenpeace said Wednesday. Turkish and German volunteer carpenters are making the wooden ship on the mountain in eastern Turkey, bordering Iran. The ark will be revealed in a ceremony on May 31, a day after Greenpeace activists climb the mountain and call on world leaders to take action to tackle climate change, Greenpeace said."Climate change is real, it's happening now and unless world leaders take urgent, decisive and far-reaching action, the next decades will see human misery on a scale not experienced in modern times," said Greenpeace activist Hilal Atici. "Those leaders have a mandate from the people ... to massively cut greenhouse gas emissions and to do it now."Many countries are struggling to address global and national standards for carbon emissions.

You are on this site as well. Does this generalization include you as well?

FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN CULTURE, HERE IS SOMETHING VERY CULTURAL

"He was one of those rare people that would put his life on the line for an issue like French nuclear testing," said Ms Palese, who remains an active member of Greenpeace.

The above sentence is by a Greenpeace activist, about their founder Mr.David McTaggart, shortly after McTaggart's untimely death.

David McTaggart was a very rich Canadian of British roots.

- He lost an eye, in a brawl with French commandos.
- He is the founder of Greenpeace.
- Greenpeace is well known for its efforts to hinder and stop French nuclear activities around the world.
- French Navy eventually had to openly torpedo and sink the Greenpeace flagship (RAINBOW WARRIOR) in high seas.
- McTaggart died (!) shortly afterwards, in Italy, in a very suspicious car accident.

NOBODY THINKS THE BRITISH SECRET SERVICE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH McTAGGART's DEATH.

Very good point, I think it's enough of preaching here and "culturalizing" everybody.
