Fear of deadly attack by lone maverick as officers alert major firms to danger of green extremism.
Police have warned of the growing threat of eco-terrorism after revealing they are investigating a group which has supporters who believe that reducing the Earth's population by four-fifths will help to protect the planet.
Officers from a specialist unit dedicated to tackling domestic terrorism are monitoring an eco-movement called Earth First! which has advocates who state that cutting the Earth's population by 80 per cent will ease pressure on other species. Officers are concerned a 'lone maverick' eco-extremist may attempt a terrorist attack aimed at killing large numbers of Britons.
The National Extremism Tactical Co-ordination Unit, which collates intelligence and advice to police forces, has revealed that eco-activists are researching a list of target companies which they believe ... are exacerbating the threat of climate change.
A senior source at the unit said it had growing evidence of a threat from eco-activists. 'We have found statements that four-fifths of the human population has to die for other species in the world to survive.
'There are a number of very dedicated individuals out there and they could be dangerous to other people.'
Earth First! says its mission is 'about direct action to halt the destruction of the Earth' and advocates 'civil disobedience and monkeywrenching',
ELF was founded in 1992 in Brighton by members of the Earth First! movement who wanted to form a breakaway group that would use more extreme tactics.

Everybody's happy, and no repeat offenders.
Works for me.
Order shoot to kill next time some green anarchist tries to make somebody else’s tree its home.
Why not start with YOURSELVES, you wack-jobs?
Of course, they will get to decide which one in five is allowed to survive.
In case you were wondering, you’re not one of them...
PETA and and the HSUS have Obummer in their hip pocket so look for them to go berserk now.
It’s only going to get worse.
My dog lists were full of posts pleading for people *not* to vote for him because of his animal/environmental “rights” connections.
Too late now.
*We* are going to get the devil *they* deserve.
I always ask the wackos if CO2 is out of control.
They always say yes.
I then tell them, they can help save the world if they quit breathing!
I bet Obama won’t aggressively go after these ecoterrorists. He may not like their methods, but his radical views more mirror theirs than those of the wood-burning, SUV-driving heartland.

greenpeace...such a nice name, right? not really, they have threatened to kill people and have actually shot at them to save a tree or a seal pup.
yes, please do us a favor and start by killing yourselves off to save the human race. With nut cases like this in charge they would call themselves Democrats!!!
I believe the UK and EU have treated these eco-”activists” with kid gloves. Fortunately here in the US our federal courts have labeled these nutjobs eco-terrorists and have and are going after them big time.
These groups have screamed bloody murder at being labeled eco-terrorists but to no avail. Hopefully when BO is inaugurated it won’t change, it shouldn’t because the president does not control the judiciary.
Cutting the population of Earth First! by 100 percent will ease pressure on other feces.
I don’t think it will, these people were only useful idiots to him in the first place. Now that he has power he will tolerate no descent.
These sweet folks have many close ties to academia. Rampant fatal disease is clearly the only ecologically acceptable way to reduce the Human population by 80%. Yes, this is something we can worry about.
Remember :
35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange ...
What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.
“We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs,” one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”
Another said: “I took on a Texan Swat team at Esso last year and they were angels compared with this lot.”
Behind him, on the balcony of the pub opposite the IPE, a bleary-eyed trader, pint in hand, yelled: “Sod off, Swampy.”
and Jerry Vlasek : the surgeon in Los Angeles..
His wife too
Getting to be time for “grass roots justice.”
4/5 of the earth's population believes that, although most are not supporters of the group.
I recommend we start protecting the planet by reducing this group's population by five fifths!
Thanks for the chuckle of the day, George.
I remember the incident but not the quotes you listed, they’re hilarious.
It’s too bad that doesn’t happen more often to the nutjobs, it would give them pause.
HI george76, goodf to hear you
that was just about the funniest story I’ve heard. These poncy eco types think everyone’s got an Oxford degree and likes to debate how many angels can dance on the end of a pin! “Sod off Swampy!” Wonderful.
