I agree absolutely. It is eco-terrorism plain and simple. And all parties should be required to cease and desist until the issue can be studied further and a solution that makes accomodations for their financial losses can be found. In the end though, I personally couldn't give two shits about their corporate bank accounts on this matter, and this is obviously a measure that should be on the G8 summit priority list. Instead, the G8 are much too busy exploring how they can best continue (in this information age) to politically, economically, and militarily navigate their collaborative plundering of the natural and labor resources of the Third World.

What they've studied through multiple and varied scientific means is the content of the gases in our atmosphere which, in turn, affect the weather, and have noted an unmistakeably increasing percentage of the amounts of the various greenhouse gases radically exponentiating over the last 150 years, thus the cause for global concern. And the science is there. The scientific jury is in, climate change is a reality, and it's not just some eco-scare or, as many politicians with vested interests and the P.R. departments of wealthy multinational corporations would have you believe, some cyclical variant.
