Spinning for Greenpeace
When Greenpeace generates global headlines, it’s often for dramatic, gimmicky stunts, like scaling an oil rig or breaking into a nuclear power plant. This week, the environmental group is making news for a different kind of high stakes behavior: losing $5.1 million on a bad financial bet.

Ambien Paypal Critics of Greenpeace are chortling over this. Others, such as John Vidal, the Guardian’s environmental editor, are spinning it rather oddly. He writes:
If it only costs £3m for Greenpeace to prove to the world that speculation on risky markets to raise money is madness, then it may be money well spent.

The comments on Vidal’s embarrassing piece are wickedly delicious, such as this one:
Order Ambien From India My theory is that said [Greenpeace] individual had been taking too much notice of Nafeez Ahmed and anticipating the immanent collapse of civilization and the flight to “safety” of the US dollar, decided to short the Euro.

Ahmed, as regular Collide-a-Scape readers know, is my favorite “tour guide to the apocalypse.” He and Vidal occupy an interesting space at the Guardian.

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/bfkeo2y0 I’m more fascinated how nobody seems to have reported on this beyond editorialising on what the Greenpeace press release has said.
We don’t see any curiosity about the identity of the trader, or on the detail about how extensive the Greenpeace stock and currency trading activity is.
https://www.scarpellino.com/vwaqluc1https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/z4nt8o6z Could this kind of loss have happened before at smaller scales? And only now, when the extent can’t be kept quiet, a release to a compliant media is all that is needed?
Not a whit of curiosity is shown by the pseudo-journalists who would be all over any company that actually produced anything useful.

Last night I went to bed laughing that you could replace the whole series with John Vidal’s bad ideas like “Yeah, Greenpeace should totally get into currency trading with donation dollars as an example” and “Seralini is one of the great minds of our time”.
But if there was any doubt that he does nothing but carry water for green outfits, it’s gone now.

https://www.salernoformazione.com/71q7skpiI am curious how long Greenpeace employees have been dabbling in currency trade, and if they have a net loss or gain in the practice.
https://www.salernoformazione.com/0bwf00ym7 You would think this the perfect opportunity for Vidal to show he can be critical of Greenpeace. Silence his critics by bashing them for wasting the donations of Hollywood elites! But I guess old habits die hard…

https://municion.org/ec8i0cm Goodness, seems someone at the Guardian remembered what journalism is and has actually been doing their job 😉

I hope Vidal is buying up a lot of palm-oil-free lipstick, because there are more applications he’s gotta cover:

Lotsa lipstick Johnny, lotsa lipstick.
