Greenpeace Says You Can’t Sue Us For Accusations That Aren’t True

green-lies

Greenpeace is in court for defamation (in Canada) and RICO violations (in the U.S.). In their defense, they argue that you can’t hold them responsible because “hyperbole.”

A funny thing happened when Greenpeace and allies were forced to account for their claims in court. They started changing their tune. Their condemnations of our forestry practices “do not hew to strict literalism or scientific precision,” as they concede in their latest legal filings. Their accusations against Resolute were instead “hyperbole,” “heated rhetoric,” and “non-verifiable statements of subjective opinion” that should not be taken “literally” or expose them to any legal liability. These are sober admissions after years of irresponsible attacks. (emphasis added)

Maybe Exxon, another target of the green warriors, should line up behind Resolute. If there’s anything left, they can sue Greenpeace for “warming the planet” with their heated rhetoric. See also, crap they just made up to grab headlines and dupe donors.
