If I search for your quotation — "worst case of environmental terrorism in modern history" — Google only surfaces this thread. Whose assessment were you citing, and what did they actually say?

Paraphrasing, I've heard similar phrases used.

Do you have a better candidate for worst act of environmental terrorism? I'm open to amending that wording, or dropping the quotes if they are causing distress.

Yeah, using quotation marks when paraphrasing is super confusing. Still, paraphrasing what or whom?

I guess I'd need to know a working definition for environmental terrorism. I've heard of eco-terrorism before, but that's generally thought to be the use of violence to further environmental policy change, which isn't want happened in the case in question.

After we have that working definition, I'd like to know why it's important that one particular young private citizen not connected with the incident be held accountable to having a statement about it.
