Controversial climate group facing bankruptcy

Greenpeace was recently ordered to pay $660M in damages resulting from a pipeline protest

One of the leading global environmental networks has been drained of hundreds of millions over the years as a result of several lawsuits filed against their involvement in anti-oil protests.

Most recently, Greenpeace was found liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages resulting from a pipeline protest. The group recently said that such a ruling could "shut down Greenpeace USA."

Here are some of the top cases that got Greenpeace to the dire straits it is in right now. 

1. Greenpeace hit with $660 million fine for pipeline protest

More than 800 people were arrested in 2016 during a monthslong protest, led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, opposing construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), an oil pipeline that runs from North Dakota to Illinois. 

Energy Transfer, the developer of the pipeline, sued Greenpeace USA and Greenpeace International for $300 million on claims the climate groups orchestrated the protests by providing resources to the activists and, therefore, were liable for the expenses that resulted from construction being postponed. 

In March 2025, a North Dakota jury found Greenpeace liable for about $660 million resulting from the protest.

"Our lawsuit is about recovering damages for the harm Greenpeace caused our company. It is not about free speech. Their organizing, funding, and encouraging the unlawful destruction of property and the dissemination of misinformation goes well beyond the exercise of free speech. We look forward to proving our case, and we trust the North Dakota legal system to do that."

2. Pirate-style protest leads to another massive fine

Greenpeace settled a lawsuit with Shell after four individuals affiliated with the group boarded and occupied a Shell oil company vessel for two weeks in 2023...

3. ‘People vs. the Arctic' lawsuit falls flat

In 2020, the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled against Greenpeace's attempt to block new oil exploration in the country....

4. Another environmental group bites the dust? 

Commenting on the North Dakota ruling, a representative for Energy Transfer told Fox News Digital it was "very pleased that Greenpeace has been held accountable for their actions against us and that the jury recognized these were not law-abiding, peaceful protests as Greenpeace tried to claim."...

Greenpeace is a terrorist organization. There should be a parade if this organization fails out of business.

Always have been. A lot of terror groups hide behind the guise of Climate Change.

Why do they have $660M to cough up? Soros should pull the plug completely, set up Greenpeace 2.0 across the street, and give them $660M in seed money.

Hopefully that fraudulant scheme is over.   I am sure she pocketed many millions before DOGE ended that worthless graveyard train.  Of course bootlicking leftists retards are still crying about it.  Pathetic
