Greenpeace, liars!

The Daily Telegraph reports that Melting glacier 'false alarm', referring to a "warning" issued by Greenpeace. The original "alert" apparently showed a picture of a retreating glacier, blamed it all on man-made global warning:

"The blame can be put squarely on human activity," Greenpeace said. "Our addiction to fossil fuels releases millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and this is what is causing temperatures to rise and our future to melt before our eyes."

And lo and behold, they're full of it!

But Prof Ole Humlum, a leading glaciologist in Svalbard, 500 miles north of Norway, said yesterday: "That glacier had already disappeared in the early 1920s as a result of a perfectly natural rise in temperature that had nothing to do with man-made global warming."

The article describes the earlier Greenpeace statement as "misleading at best." Misleading? How about flat out full of **it?

And how come this story isn't getting press time in the US (least that I've seen)?
