No a terrorist is someone who's modus operandi is to instill terror.
Political terrorists do it by killing people. Eco-terrorists do it
by playing on FUD. It's the same end, they cannot support their case
with reasoned fact, so resort to instilling fear in the general
population.

Umm .. the eco-terrorists _do_ refer to nuclear supporters in these
terms, it's part of the terror inducing paradigm, to assume that
anything 'nucular' is capable of destroying Earth.
