that's a fascinating question in relation to climate issues because it blurs the boundaries between the climate change debate and the war on terror debate..
what's the use of proposing a major switch to nuclear power if third world countries and or middle eastern countrys are to be discouraged from developing nuclear power?.forcing them to rely on coal/gas powered stations.or rendering them reliant on external power supply from other countys.(a political/economicaly unnaceptable situation for any country).anyhuw the climate issue at least in terms of popular conception boils down to the reduction of CO2 emissions.. so..if there is any truth to the situation what so ever....given that an area of CO2 gobbling forest the size of a small country is cut down every year (and not replaced) could it not be debated that those countrys who are committing these acts of eco terrorism be added to the axis of evil..lol..given that is...one accepts that the results of climate change could make all previous acts of "conventional" terrorism seem "minor" in comparison...lots of political capitol to be gained there no doubt...it's funny how in a shrinking world no matter what opinion you share every issue eventualy ends up being one and the same..lol
