In an audio tape released earlier today, notorious Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden points the finger at the United States and other industrialized countries, blaming them for global warming. He goes on to call for the world to boycott American goods, saying that the way to end climate change is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt. This isn’t the first time bin Laden has mentioned the environment in his messages, and while the negative context of his latest rhetoric is certainly not something that the eco-movement would like to be linked to, it’s of note that even someone who is responsible for so much destruction is voicing his so-called concerns about the welfare of the Earth.
