Greenpeace builds replica of Noah's Ark
ISTANBUL, Turkey - Environmental activists are building a replica of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat — where the biblical vessel is said to have landed after the great flood — in an appeal for action on global warming, Greenpeace said Wednesday.
Turkish and German volunteer carpenters are making the wooden ship on the mountain in eastern Turkey, bordering Iran. The ark will be revealed in a ceremony on May 31, a day after Greenpeace activists climb the mountain and call on world leaders to take action to tackle climate change, Greenpeace said.
"Climate change is real, it's happening now and unless world leaders take urgent, decisive and far-reaching action, the next decades will see human misery on a scale not experienced in modern times," said Greenpeace activist Hilal Atici. "Those leaders have a mandate from the people ... to massively cut greenhouse gas emissions and to do it now." [...]
And they say that scientific evidence proves global warming is real, yet they're invoking the imagery found in a book most tree-hugging, "reality-based" community dwellers look at as nothing more than a bunch of regressive, repressive, anti-scientific, fairy tales?
And further, in the story itself, God makes a promise in His heart to the human race,
“While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”
'Cause, if that's really what they meant to do, it's seems kinda at cross-purposes with their message.
But, I suppose if that's what they want to do, for consistency's sake, PeTA will be there to build an altar to God, and make a burnt offering of every clean animal and of every clean bird.
