While that is some nice equivocation, I'd wager that the Green Peace site has seen a fairly decent spike in traffic as has the number of people engaged in climate change 'debates'. It's also likely caused some of the left wing, environmentalist vote -- who likely supported Obama during the election -- to go back to questioning the man in the White House.

Well, the Vandals did sack Rome.
In reply to: If they wanted to raise awareness they could go out and show people how to be more efficient and produce fewer pollutants. There sign said nothing about that. Heck, they didn’t even put their URL on there big enough so that you could read it online.
Displaying your url has far less impact these days. Anyone who can type in the address can just as easily google Green Peace. It's largely assumed that they, like all major NGOs, have a web site, but anyone that so much as catches a glimpse of 'www.' or '.com' will instantly get it if they didn't before.
http://www.greenpeace.org... time to find? Less than ten seconds.
Greenpeace does have positive campaigns, as do other environmentalist NGOs, but sometimes it's the sensationalism that grabs people's attention. Sometimes more extreme actions make moderate stances seem more palatable.
