Congressmen push FBI to investigate ecoterrorism threat amid calls for activists to embrace violence
Fox News
A group of Republican lawmakers is calling on the FBI to "investigate and monitor" ecoterrorists and ecoterror organizations amid calls for the groups to embrace sabotage to achieve their climate change-related goals.
"Recently, several media outlets and social media platforms have amplified calls for eco-terrorism against the energy sector," the lawmakers wrote, noting that Malm received favorable coverage in both The New York Times and the New Yorker.
Citing several instances of Malm's radical, violent suggestions to fight climate change, the Republicans warned that the amplification of Malm "and his calls for eco-terrorism not only risks the lives of the 205,000+ pipeline construction workers, but it also poses significant danger to our communities and first responders."
