Actually, both Discodan and Darksociologist are wrong. If we accept Discodans two premises, G indeed follows, but as Darksociologist points out, his reasoning is wrong.

~G --> ~(P --> A)

is equivalent to

(P->A) -> G

in classical logic (which I don't believe in, BTW). From ~P it follows that P->A. Combining this with (P->A) -> G, we have G.
