Antarctic Treaty: Lesson in imagination

http://www.greenpeace.org
Greenpeace's campaign to keep oil and gas exploration out of Antarctica was a lesson in impossible ambitions: sometimes, you achieve them. Kelly Rigg talks about persistence, imagination, and the lessons we can learn from a campaign to save a continent.

I am doing a documentary on this for National History Day. Do you have any suggestions for interviews?

Organizations like Greenpeace are (proportionally), the will for fighting for life.

@BlitzNeko,

Man you spin some shit... Here's the FACTS:

"Polar bear numbers have increased from about 5,000 to 25,000 over the last 30 years".

Warmists don't deny this, what they claim is that their figures are based on models! Models that are sooooo wrong its funny

All this BS about polar bears dying is crazy!

The earths been hotter than it is today, while polar bears were alive.. they seemed to do fine in that time (think they call it the optimum temp range).

So if polar bears have lived through ice melts and temps 5degrees over current highs why all this fear mongering that if the temp goes up a couple of degrees they will all die?? It didnt happen the last few hot periods in history duuuhhhhh

[BlitzNeko]

Really the IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is in charge of polar bears now?  Do you know anything about what spews forth from you mouth. Maybe you should look it up first.

Somebody better tell the weather watch that they're zoologists now... Polar bear are dying off, tigers too.. deal with it..

[BlitzNeko]

Actually that's what prompted congress & NSA(National Science Academy) to start looking into Climate change.... That article you read, if you notice is written by the reporter and many of the people they interviewed publicly disputed what was in that article as a BS...

So the congress charged the NOAA & NSA and after 20 year they issued the report stating that climate change was real do to human causes.....

No solar images show that aside from the normal 11 year cycle, The polar bears are near extinct. And yes CO2 is still causing the earth to heat up, or more accurately is causing climate change with other factors outside the normal cycle of the earth.

But you go right on believing the "scientist" from the oil & energy companies, keep in mind these are the same people that told you cigarettes are perfectly safe for you to smoke. 9 out of 10 of their overpaid "doctors" agree.
