Like I get the point you're trying to make, but isn't terrorism inherently flashy and designed to get attention, whereas oil polluters try to keep a low profile and stop people from noticing?

Like you could call it mass murder, but they kind of go out of their way to avoid creating terror and panic around it, which means that it's not really terrorism, is it?

    New research from Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester and University College London, found that more than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggested—meaning that air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide.Link
