Environmental terrorism often creates a negative impression of environmental issues because it involves the use of violence or destruction to further an environmental cause. This can lead to public fear and distrust, overshadowing the legitimate concerns and efforts of peaceful environmental activists. The negative consequences of environmental terrorism, such as property damage or harm to individuals, can further alienate the public and create a perception that environmental issues are associated with extremism or radicalism. Therefore, while environmental terrorism may draw attention to certain issues, it ultimately harms the broader environmental movement by fostering negative perceptions.
