another example i like is greenpeace. they went after a bunch of big box retailers for selling unsustainable seafood, and they would rank the retailers. and year after year after year trader joe's kept coming up in the bottom thursday -- bottom third of this ranking and they said that's so strange because the consumers at trader joe's really care. so in 2009 they launched the traitor joe's campaign. they took out a full-page ad in "the new york times," they had demonstrations at many trader joe's across the nation. they had a really cool internet platform where their volunteers could use that platform to call managers around the nation, and it sent a singing fish telegram begging to stop selling unsustainable seafood. it was playful, but it was also intense exposure. and as a result, trader joe's moved up -- of that campaign very much, and it's very obvious it was a result from something like 19th on the list to fourth on the list and gave up a lot of their -- now, so did that solve the problem of selling unsustainable se

pat moore, a former greenpeace activist turned corporate lobbyist, made the remarks in an interview for a documentary on french tv. >> it won't hurt you. >> you want to drink some? >> i'd be happy to. not really. i know it wouldn't -- >> i have some -- >> i'm not stupid. >> you know it is dangerous. >> people have tried to commit suicide with it and failed regularly. it is not dangerous to humans. >> are you ready to drink it? >> i'm not an idiot. interview me about golden rice. the interview is finished. you are a complete jerk. amy: earlier this week, a world health organization report found glyphosate, a main ingredient in roundup, likely causes cancer. a member of the illinois national guard and his cousin have been arrested and accused of plotting to join the self-proclaimed islamic state in syria or carry out attacks inside the united states. guardsman hasan edmonds allegedly sent messages to an undercover agent saying he would bring "the flames of war to the heart" of the united states if he couldn't get into syria. his cousin, jonas edmonds, allegedly boasted to an agent he coul

as consumers and managers are less aligned with the greenpeace agenda. it had that mismatch but in the people trying to do the shaming and the people who were asked to be a part of the audience. >> i feel like you are an expert on that the moment that we could benefit from commencing click a lot of those right us right now even how afraid we should be of terrorism with -- which affects relatively few people. the big impetus between this book is climate change which could conceivably escalate and do so very rapidly into affecting and even killing a lot more people than terrorism has. the agenda behind this book another negative word, the impetus, the heart of this work is climate change. is that true? >> it is one of many. climate change and overfishing are my two big research agendas. i would also say something like welfare and labor rights and those are all part and parcel. you want this to be out there for potential fellow activists? >> i i could have written the exact same boat control on gun sales. i chose examples that fit my agenda. if your constit

during a press conference on the hotly contested kyoto agreement, greenpeace advocates protest against america. they claim it's not reducing greenhouse emissions fast enough. >> the united states, which admittedly was a big part of the cause of the problem because we had had had been an industrial might for so long all of a sudden is viewed by many as a heavy. we viewed ourselves as trying our damnedest to actually find solutions, but they weren't pure enough for some. >> one protester takes matters into her own hands, throwing a pie at u.s. undersecretary for global affairs frank loy. >> i had to make an immediate decision whether to be outraged or to treat it lightly. and i decided for the latter. this incident occurred the day before american thanksgiving, and i said, standing there with this stuff dripping off of me, i said, "you would have thought that on the day before thanksgiving they could have picked pumpkin pie rather than cherry cream." >> a pie in the face is standard vaudeville stuff and i think you can almost get away with that because a pie in the face is something peop

groups including greenpeace have targeted the roof in the past to stage protests. >>> and those are the you should know. time now for a "newsnation" gut check. the pressure is mounting for hillary clinton to come out and speak about her use of private e-mails to do business. this weekend prominent democratic senator dianne feinstein called on the former secretary to quote, step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is. well, since the story about her private e-mail and server use broke last week mrs. clinton has only tweeted that she wants the public to see her e-mails and has asked the state department to release them. well, the department along with clinton's aides maintains that she followed the law. so what does your gut tell you? what are you thinking about this? do you agree with senator feinstein that hillary clinton should address the controversy over her private e-mail? go to newsnation.msnbc.com to vote for that. >>> and we so appreciate your being with us this morning. that does it for this edition of "newsnation." i'm frances rivera in for tamron hall. up next

legislation including the natural resources defense council, the league of conservation voters, and greenpeace among others. there was a time, not too long ago, when the views of these groups would have mattered to some of my republican colleagues. not too many years ago. then the republican chairman of the science committee jerry boller made clear we need to be good stewards of the environment we are leaving for future generations. i want to believe that some of my republican colleagues still believe that. however, legislation like this bill before us today makes me fear that what we are left with is a majority party which ignores science ignores public health and ignores environmental damage. all for the sake of polluting industries who have endorsed the majority's actions here today. now, i don't begrudge these companies for supporting legislation that help theirs bottom line. it's expected. what concerns me is that this congress no longer looks at the requests with critical eye. we simply rubber stamp them -- rubber stamp them without any regard for our nation's science experts health expe

those folks are working on ideas and their own local greenpeace, coming up with solutions doing research, publishing memos and taking the stakeholders. one of her students is looking at new york city parking policy and how that can bring about this to affect local communities. he's looking at new york city, coming up with some ideas and we are supporting it. i think that's the kind of horizontal engagement i'm talking about the is telling you what your agenda should be but you've been able to build it yourself. >> i think i can piggyback on that pic if you look at the elections that we've seen over the past few years, democrats lost an insane amount this past year. samoas in this room more to it some of us celebrated. but if you look at it, i think in our generation we are going to necessarily relate to make it as much as we going to relate to the platform they're running a. that speaks were to -- more horizontally-based organization. the women come we are getting whether a candidate runs on health care for women what they think if they think have the right to know what i should do with

caller: about a year ago i think it was c-span had on the head of greenpeace. he made the following statement. he said if the world's temperature rises another 3.5 degrees, it's over. i think he said something like 95% of all surface drilling species will die, including us. we are on track to reach that increase within 60 years if we continue burning fossil fuel the way we have been for the last 50 or 60 years. he said we still have time to stop it. the only way to stop it, there is just one way to stop the temperature from rising another 3.5 degrees. that is to leave two thirds of the oil that is in the ground in the ground. you can't bring it up or burn it. what would it do to the economy of the world if there was a way to within 10 years switch over from using fossil fuel to running vehicles electric, powered by a clean source? would that destroy the world's economy? before you answer, let me end this with a statement. what would it do to everyone's attitude about everything to see evidence of god within the structure of the text of my book . guest: thanks.
