Friends of the Earth were using the term Thunderclap to refer to political action.
This term infers Divine Violence and is no better than the Religious Right's use of Christian terms in political campaigns.
The implications of God's violent condemnation is inappropriate in human disputes.
It is resorting to fear.
And fear is no motivation.
So I would prefer if they did not use the term Thunderclap because it has negative religious connotations.
