At the UN climate summit in Durban, Greenpeace brands the Harper government 'CLIMATE FAIL'
At the dawn of the 21st century a new political regime has transformed Canada from global hero – once standing up for peace, people, and nature – to global criminal, plunging into war, eroding civil rights, and destroying environments.

What I love about social media is that you can’t fake it.
For all the hundreds of millions of dollars companies like Volkswagen
pump into their advertising machines (for VW it’s a cool £1.5bn every year) they
can’t crack social media. And that’s down to one simple reason: they fear
honesty.

It's the end of the road for one of our campaign legends: Brian.
Only six months ago, Brian was working for the Dark Side - an anonymous Volkswagen employee only concerned with getting through his day job. He took orders from his superiors without questioning them. He did what he was told.

With
the decision by Canada to pull
out of the Kyoto protocol,
it's clear that the Canadian government cares more about protecting
the polluters (particularly the tar sands industry) than the people.
But our new report shows that the people hold the key to stopping the
growth of tar sands oil production - and investors would be wise to
take note.

In the latest in our video series, "Stories from the Rainbow Warrior", Martti talks about his journey from an unhappy sailor working for an oil company to a sailor / activist on a Greenpeace ship. Want to get on board?

If you were poised to be the biggest
car company in the world raking in annual profits of £5bn, you think you'd
feel pretty confident about yourself.
Even if you felt a little insecure, a cool £1.5bn advertising budget
could iron out some of the less-than-savoury aspects of your appearance.
Besides, £1.5bn buys a lot of botox.

The small Alaskan community of Point Hope - or Tikiġaq, as the Iñupiaq people call their homeland - is one of the oldest continually occupied sites in North America.
Today, the Greenland Bureau of Mineral and Petroleum invited the world’s biggest oil companies to a meeting in Copenhagen that could be of extreme importance for the future of the Arctic. And we were there to make sure the oil representatives heard about what's really going on in the frozen north.
