Here comes the sun (and it’s trying to kill you)

This is for real:
And it’s even worse than you think:
Greenpeace wants to know why its billboard on solar energy was rejected in Edmonton while an ad denying that humans have an impact on climate change is up in Calgary.
The group says it had a deal two years ago with billboard company Pattison Outdoor to display an ad in Edmonton, but it was cancelled without explanation.
The ad said: “When there is a huge solar energy spill, it’s just called a nice day. Green jobs, not more oil spills.”
Pattison wouldn’t say at the time why it backed away, but Greenpeace suggested the company didn’t want to offend oil industry advertisers.
Wow. That’s just awesome in its bold malevolence. Not only are they saying that fossil fuels don’t cause climate change — they’re killing two birds with one stone by blaming it on solar energy, the oil industry’s competition.
Yeah, we’re fucked.
