Here is an interesting article from
Climate Skeptic. The U.N. has decided they needed to step in and declare another a fifth crime against peace.
A campaign to declare the mass destruction of ecosystems an international crime against peace - alongside genocide and crimes against humanity - is being launched in the UK.
The proposal for the United Nations to accept "ecocide" as a fifth "crime against peace", which could be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC), is the brainchild of British lawyer-turned-campaigner Polly Higgins.
The radical idea would have a profound effect on industries blamed for widespread damage to the environment like fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, chemicals and forestry.
A little farther down in the article we get the definition of 'Ecocide'. at least from the lawyer perspective:
Ecocide is already recognised by dictionaries, but Higgins' more legal definition would be: "The extensive destruction, damage to or loss of ecosystem(s) of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes, to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that territory has been severely diminished."
Someone even made a website:
This is Ecocide Here is their very scary video.
If only these people understood just howmuch of what they do EACH DAY would no be possible if business didn't extract natural resources to power it. They wouldn't have a website or a place like YouTube to post a video on complaining about the use of energy to post there complaining on. Thanks to the coal industry and oil, they can do so. Yeah!!!!
