Kampar Peninsula.- Early today 13 activists of the organization Greenpeace locked down cranes at one of the largest pulp and paper mills in the world and 4 activists still remain - as this e-mail was sent operations at the export facility had been stopped for 9 hours already.

In an emailed statement, Greenpeace said deforestation is a root cause of climate change - contributing approximately 1/5 of global greenhouse gas emissions - and the Indonesian rainforest is one of the frontlines of forest destruction.

“There are only 11 days remaining until the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen and our activists are sending a clear message to world leaders: they must avert climate chaos and end tropical deforestation by agreeing to a fair, ambitious and legally binding climate deal at the Summit,” Greenpeace said in its newsletter.

aC loves concrete not forests. He also misuses words. Terrorism involves doing harm to people and no one other than a few nut cases describes Greenpeace as a terrorist organization.

Are you really that dense or just enjoy looking like an idiot?

Greenpeace is a terrorist organization. They have harmed millions. Every time they prevent an average Joe from earning money to feed their families they commit terrorism.

Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. It has been used throughout history by political organizations of both the left and the right, by nationalist and ethnic groups, and by revolutionaries. Although usually thought of as a means of destabilizing or overthrowing existing political institutions, terror also has been employed by governments against their own people to suppress dissent; examples include the reigns of certain Roman emperors, the French Revolution (see Reign of Terror), Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union under Stalin, and Argentina during the "dirty war" of the 1970s.

(see September 11 attacks), when members of al-Qaeda terrorist network hijacked four commercial airplanes and crashed two of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City and one into the Pentagon building near Washington, D.C.; the fourth plane crashed near Pittsburgh, Pa. The crashes resulted in the collapse of much of the World Trade Center complex, the destruction of part of the southwest side of the Pentagon, and the deaths of some 3,000 people.

General climate of fear? Deadly attacks? come off it aC.

The Dominican Army is a terrorist group when it stops average joe from chopping down trees to make charcoal? The US government and average americans are terrorists when they prevent people from chopping down giant redwood trees? President Grant was a terrorist when he set up Yellowstone National Park?

You reach the heights or should it be depths of stupidity.
