Called "eco-terrorism," it grew out of the 2001 USA Patriot Act that created the federal crime of "domestic terrorism" and applied it to US citizens as well as aliens.In his February 2002 testimony before the House Resources Committee, Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health, the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Section Chief, Counterterrorism Division, James Jarboe defined eco-terrorism as:"the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."As a result, innocent people are targeted, accused, convicted ...

Weather Channel’s “Environmental Unit” Fired During &ldqu
2008-11-23 18:37:00 Ooooohhh… this is rich. From the Washington Post: NBC Universal made the first of potentially several rounds of staffing cuts at The Weather Channel (TWC) on Wednesday, axing the entire staff of the “Forecast Earth” environmental program during the middle of NBC’s “Green Week,” as well as several on-camera meteorologists. The layoffs totaled about 10 percent of the workforce, and are among the first major changes made since NBC completed its purchase of the venerable weather network in September. …. The timing of the Forecast Earth cancellation was ironic, since it came in the middle of NBC’s “Green Week,” during which the network has been touting its environmental coverage across all of its platforms. Forecast Earth normally aired on weekends, but its presumed last episode was shown on a weekday due to the environmentally-oriented week. Forecast Earth was hosted by former CNN anchor Natalie Allen, with contributions from...

Is China Going Green, Part XV -- Environmental Liability Clarified: Be Afra
2008-06-22 20:03:00 Very important article in today's China Daily, entitled, "Government targets land pollution to ensure food security." Far more important than the reason for this targeting is the who and what of the targeting. China's Ministry of Environmental Protection has announced that the "company which inherits the debts and rights (of the polluter) should shoulder the responsibility for providing financial assistance to restore the productivity of polluted land." The article notes that the previous policy on this "was unclear." This jibes with what we have been telling our clients for years: when buying a Chinese company, your due diligence must include reviewing its potential environmental liability. We have been saying this both because the law on this has been unclear and because this is the case in the United States and (as far as I know, in many other countries as well) and this will likely eventually become the case in China as well. I tend to be paranoid about this because a...
