The thing about it is that there just are not that many PETA like people out there. They get quite a bit of attention on television, on television shows, and mostly from right wing media in order to make it all look loony. I personally have no met anybody that is a member of either PETA, Greenpeace, or any similar organization. Everybody I know that is concerned about climate change are people that are otherwise more informed than the general public on most things in general and are not hard core lefties you would expect. Saying all those concerned about climate chance are crazy radicals is like if an alien came to this planet and met one serial killer that spends his time he is not killing sitting in a pile of his own feces while wearing his grandmother's panties reading Guns N Ammo while smear peanut butter all over himself and assumed that person was representative of our species as a whole.
