Others have had to wait more than a decade for their claims to be handled, like the relatives of the thousands in Bhopal, India, who died after the chemical spill at the US-owned Union Carbide plant in 1984.

You sort of forgot to mention a very critical and relevant fact.
The government of India insisted (as do virtually all countries) on controlling ownership and final word of all details of operating in India.
That this makes it subject to corruption is an open secret.
To hold the minority partner which has no control over how, for instance, environmental issues are handled is ludicrous.

I am sure however that, given the opportunity, that is exactly what these parasite NGOs intend to do, if the minority "partner" happens to be a rich industrialized state.

Jaques Cousteau (sp) was the biggest con artist of the last century.

In the late 50s and early 60s I used to dive with him at Catalina and he was a nothing that had a 32' flat black (so as to avoid the fish and game at night) steel hull motor sailer and was the biggest lobster poacher on the island. Basicly, he was a wine and cheese weekend bum, that spent his weekends anchored in 4th of July Harbor poaching. I can't say that I didn't poach my share.

He conned the French government to fund him and his "society" for money and his environmentalism was a total scam and con job.
