Greenpeace is a "Raise Awareness" organization. Publicity and a good relationship with the press are it's core functions.

Raising Awareness is the contemporary 'last refuge of a scoundrel'. Greenpeace lost any broad credibility as a maverick campaigning organisation a long time ago, it's now just another MOTR 'charitable' org that overspends on admin, salaries and PR.
