Obama on Mt Rushmore? Greenpeace Banner Calls for Global Warming Leadership

Greenpeace climbers hung a banner on Mount Rushmore challenging President Obama to show real leadership on global warming. The banner, measuring sixty-five feet high by thirty-five feet wide, features an unfinished portrait of Obama with the message, "America honors leaders not politicians: Stop Global Warming."

You Can Take Action Too. Petition Obama for Real Solutions to the Climate Crisis:

The demonstration comes as President Obama meets other G8 leaders in L'Aquila, Italy today to discuss the global warming crisis in the lead-up to UN climate treaty negotiations in Copenhagen this December.

@pennyf9 And do you have any scientific proof for your statements? It has already been scientifically proven that global warming and climate change come in delay. We are now bearing the consequences of the burning of fossil fuels back in 1960! It is also proven that Al Gore is an asshole, but he aint a scientist. And hurricane Kathrina, did that help the government to make money? The floodings in Pakistan? Plenty of other examples concerning disasters like these....

@phillip549 You just watched it, you even posted on YouTube about it, so it got people talking and brought attention to the issue. Whether you like it or not, it worked.

this is a disgrace of our founding fathers memorial to do this. The message is good but do it in front of the congress in DC

@Packerd01 i don't understand your comment... I didn't say we can or can't do anything about global warming.

I don't think we have to fight mother earth, but live in harmony with her.

I agree with you about liberalism. Few people living off the backs of many just isn't right, although a lot of people believe the lies they're told.

[Packerd01]

@laathetlevenvloeien But "we the People" can't do anything about it, is that so hard to understand for you? We can't fight mother nature, we the people are the threat to nature itself.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Al Gore didn't invent the Internet, he invented Global Warming! Ps... I wonder what the carbon footprint of the helicopter coverage, the paint, the manufacturing of this big ass poster and the fancy REI gear, fuel used to drive there from Hippyville all adds up be...? Oh yeah, what about the last mini ice ages,, anyone care to explain those? gP does NOT have a monopoly on science nor climatologists

Technically you can't stop global warming I mean it something you can't stop its a natural thing you could stop using fuels but natural over the years it would warm up the cool down

@peacelorilove yeah because our big ass trucks serve no purpose on this planet other than to destroy it....... I would be proud if obama never went to this "global shit hole warming summit".

@hughes7520

yes vandalize as in : willful or malicious destruction or defacement of public or private property

yes they defaced it, yes it was willful and yes it is public or private property. all the way down to the very definition of it.
