Now that we use the word “terrorist” for anything offensive or destructive, is it even a meaningful term any more?
That seems to be the whole push of this article - relabling environmental discourse using words like terrorism and genocide in new and unusual ways to provoke an emotional reaction.
Considering it works for other things such as actually perpetrating genocide in the name of fighting terror... how is it any different from all the other political moves made to push some agenda? And yes pesticides as used are weapons of mass destruction against the insect population on this planet. Literally.
"Ecoterrorists" is actually pretty accurate term for all Greenpeace activists, that break and enter various industiral complexes, or chain themselves to oil rigs, etc. My personal favourite was recent event in Poland, when they "set free" minks from a farm, not realizing that they have no chance of surviving in the wild, effectively killing them.

I really do not understand why such a schemy organization as Greenpeace is even allowed to legally exist. Should be declared to be an organized crime syndicate a long time ago.
