Man, you really don't get it, do you? Are you a member of Greenpeace? That is the only rational explanation for your inane stance. The old saying "there is no such thing as bad press" really does not apply here. Everyone knows who Greenpeace is and I would say 90% of those people understand that they have issues with the oil sands.

So what do you gain by doing something like this? Show the citizens of the country (and world) that you have no respect for the laws of the land and feel instead that your "causes" should supercede these laws? Show everyone that instead of actually using the name they already have to try and enact change they continue to resort to cheap publcity stunts? I mean really, at the end of the day that is ALL Greenpeace is. Hipster punks who have no problem destroying public and personal property for "the cause". God forbid these dildo's that climbed the tower actually had to debate the merits of the oilsands with educated folk..the debate would likely last 10 seconds as the vast majority of these Greenpeacers care nor educate themselves on anything but the malarky spewn by their windbag "leaders".
