Does Destruction of Research Foster Science Communication?

https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/eo0bdb8tj4n The upcoming Australian Science Communicators conference is featuring a talk by the CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific. Here’s the abstract (my emphasis):

https://ottawaphotographer.com/08kqcrrf Greenpeace is a https://www.varesewedding.com/aky7wb2 science-based campaigning organization whose purpose is to stand up for the environment. We detect and understand the environmental problems we face through science, and https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=t75ejzszj0 depend on science and technology to provide solutions to environmental threats. Greenpeace is thus in the (not-for-profit) business of communicating science. In his presentation, CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific, David Ritter, will outline Greenpeace’s approach to science communication, drawing out some of the tensions and overlap between public science and public campaigning.

This is the same science-based organization that has a section on agricultural biotechnology that starts off this way:

How harmful is Genetic Engineering? Is relying on toxic chemicals the only way forward?

Is this the approach to science communication the Greenpeace Australia CEO will outline in his talk?

    https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/pmj0l9eaca I’ve professionally experienced what ‘science-based’ can mean for Greenpeace when I was working on a Dutch newspaper publication on the topic of the EU stress test for European nuclear reactors. Greenpeace Netherlands had released a press release in 2011 that the company of the one Dutch reactor was flouting the EU-required tests, on the basis of a scientific report. The press released made a few headlines in some other papers and I called Greenpeace for a few additional questions.

    https://municion.org/1m1qz47kh It then turned out, in the course of a week wherein the Greenpeace employees became increasingly wroth and unrelenting, that their accusing press release was based on a report written by a former manager of the exceedingly renowned Austrian Institut of Ecology (http://www.ecology.at/index.en.htm), the report didn’t even say the required tests were neglected which rendered the Dutch press release false, and that the Greenpeace employees had misinterpreted the report, showcasing a poor understanding of the outline of the stress test in general and no understanding at all of the difference between deterministic and probabilistic assessments.

    Suffice to say that I’ve become even more sceptical of any Greenpeace report which is claimed to be science-based.

    https://www.plantillaslago.com/y1x2mp1d4w Greenpeace is a political organisation. They have their own ideas about nature, agriculture, energy, food and technology and science is mentioned when it serves their purposes.

    I have tried to imagine the scale of the Greenpeace outrage if a bunch of the climate combatants trashed the weather-recording instruments that climate scientists use.

    Yeah, I’m sure the response would be totally similar…..

    https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/r9ink26 If I recall correctly, GP was front and center in pushing the preliminary data (Losey’s words) that they decided confirmed harm to Monarch butterflies from Bt. To me, this became the Rosetta Stone for many future debacles using incomplete and sometimes erroneous data as fact….Carman, Seralini, Pusztai, to name a few. Strictly speaking, they are science-based. Just not the good science.

    Well, if you consider that Greenpeace was forced to pay compensation to the CSIRO (to the tune of ~$300,000) I’d say they are a huge supporter of GM science. :-7

    https://www.salernoformazione.com/px4wdoem8 I like to remind people who donate to Greenpeace that their money goes to supporting GM research through fines like that one…..and paying bribe money to Russian officials to get their showboating fools out of Russian prisons. There are many science-based environmental groups that can more effectively use the donations (e.g. WWF, Nature Conservancy).
