Greenpeace Ship Docks in New York
WNYC Newsroom
NEW YORK, NY September 28, 2005 —A 165-foot-long ice-breaking vessel from Greenpeace is anchoring in Long Island today. The environmental group will open the ship to the public to talk about global warming and renewable energy as well as to show support for an offshore wind park that is being proposed in southeast of Jones Beach.
REPORTER: Polar explorer Eric Larsen is on board. He has just returned from an attempt to cross the Artic Ocean during summer time. He said the adventure failed because of the impact of global warming.
LARSEN: There was a NASA report that was released that showed the ice had been the thinnest this year ever and broke up three weeks earlier than normal and the coast of Siberia where we were was one of the most severe earliest break ups that has ever been recorded.
REPORTER: The Greenpeace boat will head to Chelsea Piers on the weekend and will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 5.
