Climate Change : Greenpeace builds replica of Noah's Ark

[Quinn]

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."

Do they have to cut down trees to make this ark? :doh

[iLoveJesusChristAmen]

they should take caution and not marvel at this ark for it would be a carved/graven image

That is just the epitomy of Rebellion!!! God promised He would never flood the earth again...this flies in the face of that promise. :tsk

i guess if they read the Bible they would see there is no need. He will never flood us again.

Doesn't Greenpeace tell us that trees help reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Don't you think it's ironic that they'll be cutting down trees for this "greenhouse emissions" project? :lol2

I find it really funny....you know, like how Al Gore wants fly around in airplanes to warn everyone not to use gasoline. LOL! Too funny! Or maybe it's just a bit late here and I'm a loony goon.

Green Darner, this is the type of thing that strikes my funny bone too. So you aren't alone in the world. I wonder where they think they're going to find Gopher Wood?:yeah
