Throwing together the environmental and anti-poverty groups is one thing. Add some anarchists and old school communists and you get some rather odd bedfellows.
Perhaps this explains the contrast in the two photographs below.
Colourful and cheery environmental protesters?
Not so cheery and looking altogether rather glum set of protesters.
It would be useful if all the protesters at these meetings could (1) take an elementary economics course and (2) read Martin Wolf's book Why Globalization Works

Are the environmental protesters anti-growth?
Are the environmental protesters anti-poverty?
Are the environmental protesters anti-technological progress?
Are all multi-nationals bad for the envrionment?
Is trade bad for the environment?
