Greenpeace Claims Immunity from Lawsuits Because Its Claims Are ‘Hyperbole’

"They’ve been sued by Resolute, a Canadian forest-products company, for defamation and false claims about the company’s operations.

But when Greenpeace had to answer for its actions in court, the group wasn’t so sure it could defend its claims. In fact, they admitted those claims had no merit."

"Greenpeace, after repeated attacks against Canada’s biggest forest products company for “destroying,” Canada’s boreal forests, now says that it was merely stating an opinion about the logging activity, not a fact."

"But now Greenpeace says it never intended people to take its words about Resolute’s logging practices as literal truth."
