The colossal Greenpeace douchebag who climbed the rig wants the world to know he’s “not a hero,” to which the world replied, “we know.”

Greenpeace activists are at it again, this time boarding a Royal Dutch Shell oil rig headed for the Arctic to prove that global warming is real.

Six Greenpeace members climbed on top of Shell’s Polar Pioneer offshore drilling rig and will make camp on the underside of the rig’s main deck. The activists had been tracking the oil rig for days across the ocean in a campaign called “The Crossing” to protest the Obama administration’s decision to allow drilling in the Chukchi Sea.

As Polar Pioneer makes for port in Seattle, Greenpeace activists have been tweeting about their crusade to stop Arctic drilling. Activists had been tracking the oil rig for 5,000 miles.

…In February, an activist with the Center for Biological Diversity donned a polar bear costume at a rally against offshore drilling. Greenpeace, I guess, decided to up the ante and actually put activists — fully equipped with modern technology so they could use the Internet — on an oil rig.

Activist Johno Smith, who is on the oil rig, believes that “shining a light on what Shell is doing will encourage more people to take a strong stand against them and other companies who are seeking to destroy this planet for profit.”

Unfortunately for Joho, those profit-seeking companies, like Shell, bring hundreds of millions of people cheap power that gets them through their day. Not only that, a recent report by Department of Energy advisers said that Arctic oil will be needed when shale formations start to run dry.
