After years of attacking people and businesses across the world with dramatic public relations campaigns, Greenpeace is facing a PR nightmare after admitting people shouldn’t take its campaigns seriously. In a court document relating to a Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) case brought by Resolute Forest Products, Greenpeace has claimed it does not necessarily […]

After months of living in a known floodplain, Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters were evicted last week from a makeshift camp at the confluence of the Missouri and Cannonball rivers. With record snow totals, the risk of flooding is greater than usual, which forced the Army Corps of Engineers to remove the remaining environmentalists from […]
