Talk:Environmental terrorism

Merge
There has been no discussion on the merge here and very little there. The proposal is quite old. I'm removing it. Thoughts? --0nonanon0 (talk) 23:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

What is environmental terrorism?
I deleted the talk of Al Gore and James Hansen--neither civil disobedience nor vandalism are generally considered terrorism. I don't quite understand what environmental terrorism is supposed to be. What is this article about? Dylan Stafne (talk) 05:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC) 1~

Quite obviously, it's terrorism to the entire planet; including environment, terrorizing animals within the environment, and people who live there, bringing them terror. It's pretty common; just look around you. M.K. (talk) 07:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Point of View and Neutrality issues
Parts of this article are so badly written as to clearly convey a point of view against environmentalists that they don't even make sense. For example the phrase

"Unfortunately, such criminal acts have continued in the UK, where the courts persist in sanctioning them, by finding the perpetrators (e.g., Greenpeace) not guilty."

Characterizes an organization found in a court of law to be not guilty of any crime as the "perpetrators" of "criminal acts." By definition their acts were not criminal - that's what a not guilty verdict means. Moreover its pretty obvious that characterizing the outcome of any case as "unfortunate" is not a neutral perspective.

Phrases like "anti-vivisectionists(violence inclined animal rights activists)" are similarly ridiculous - surely the definition of an anti-vivisectionist is simply someone who opposes vivisection - which is to say live animal (or human) invasive experiments (that is the definition of vivisection).

Need examples
Maybe Saddam Hussein setting ablaze the oil wells in the first US-Iraq war? Needs a good source defining it as environmental terrorism though. Any other examples or opinions on mine?68.12.107.166 (talk) 04:36, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Bullshit term
Sorry if i seem rude but really, calling this terroism is bullshit let me elaborate. Terrorism means violence to cause fear for a political cause how the hell does anything listed here count as terroism? just another case of enviromentalist whackjobs fucking up their terminology (Undeadplatypus (talk) 14:53, 8 May 2012 (UTC))


 * The is such thing as Anti-environmental warfare like Anti-agriculture weapons. Geysirhead (talk) 15:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
