Frankly downplaying the importance of Greenpeace, a 50 years old multinational organization that helped millions of people to remain healthy and saved millions of dollars to the public, looks very dumb in 2024. Accusing Greenpeace of something that "hasn't done yet, but it may do, or not, in the future", is also symptomatic. Let's stick to the real facts.
