They [Greenpeace] forgot their original purpose and turned into a big, rich bureaucracy, more interested in fund-raising than in saving lives, so I got fed up and quit... they're a bunch of wimps. — Paul Watson

Now the apotheosis is at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. — Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley

I've been a member of Greenpeace since I was a teenager. — Alexander Skarsgard

The Greenpeace booth at all the rock and roll shows nowadays are akin to the old sorcerers who used to stand in the middle of villages warning of danger, 'When night wolf swallows mother moon, there will be great famine.' — P. J. O'Rourke

A lot of times we associate Greenpeace and climate change and shrinking polar caps with heavy-handed, weighty material. It's somber stuff. But with Funny Or Die we thought we could put an interesting take on it. Make it a little more palatable, especially for young people who tune into the website. — Alexander Skarsgard

We have a policy at Greenpeace that we no longer debate people who don't accept the scientific reality of anthropogenic climate change. — Ben Stewart

It was such an amazing experience to be able to spend nine days on a boat with these Greenpeace people. Some of them were scientists and some were crew members working on the ship.

Every single second of the day they work to save the planet, which makes me as an actor feel quite insignificant. — Alexander Skarsgard

I'm an old member of Greenpeace. I worried intensely, as I think most of my friends did, that the world was coming apart. — Bjorn Lomborg
