WI Greenpeace Never Existed?

Greenpeace either dies before it becomes popular or simply never forms. What would be the effects of that?

Perhaps worse environmental regulations unless some other group rises up and does the same stuff.

environmentalism remains a conservative politics concern. I wonder if it would go right up to see US republicans blocking and regulating oil industry.

I suppose what the OP is asking is their break out capability. @Delta Force what do you say that might be?

It gets much harder to get a good French-New Zealand war POD.

Keep in mind that Greenpeace started as a group opposed to nuclear testing in the Aleutians. It didn't get into other environmentalist causes until later in the 1970s.
 
Another bunch of anti-war, long-haired, baggy-pants hippies would eventually assume a similar role.
We were all scared spit-less by fear-mongering about the ravages of nuclear bombs.
I remember the fear leading up to the Kanchatka nuclear tests when we feared that blasts would trigger volcanoes and earthquakes all the way down to west coasts of North America and South America.

Maybe conservative, bible-thumping, evangelists take up the torch because they feared that pollution and nuclear war would interfere with their sport-fishing and duck-hunting, etc. Maybe conservatives would form a militant wing of Ducks Unlimited.
