Clueless. From the UK Telegraph:
Peru to press charges over Greenpeace Nazca lines stunt
Peru has vowed to prosecute Greenpeace activists after they allegedly damaged the world-famous Nazca lines during an environmental publicity stunt.
Activists from the group unfurled cloth letters spelling out a green energy slogan at the millennia-old site on Monday, adjacent to where the figure of a hummingbird is etched into the ground.
Peru has said the activists damaged the ground by leaving footprints, which could last for thousands of years.
“It’s a true slap in the face at everything Peruvians consider sacred,” Luis Jaime Castillo, the deputy culture minister, said.
How fragile?
Visitors to the Unesco World Heritage Site in southern Peru are normally banned from entering the area where the activists staged their stunt.
Even ministers and presidents have to seek special permission and wear special footwear to access the grounds.
Mr Castillo said: “[The lines] are absolutely fragile. They are black rocks on a white background. You walk there and the footprint is going to last hundreds or thousands of years. And the line that they have destroyed is the most visible and most recognized of all.”
Mr Castillo said the Peruvian government was seeking to prevent those responsible from leaving the country and was asking prosecutors to file charges of attacking archaeological monuments, a crime punishable by up to six years in prison.
What carbon footprint?
It said that Kumi Naidoo, the International Executive Director of Greenpeace, would fly to Lima to personally apologize for the offence caused.
Stupid self-centered children. They used to do good work and once were science based. Now it's just cultural marxism and political agenda.
