Did you notice how the climate crisis religion is so twisted that they don't love the planet near so much as they hate humanity. Note: he was quoting George Orwell..and they are not alone.
The CC (climate crisis) crowd, by cursing the "great unwashed" bulk of humanity, is another ploy of "virtue signaling".
Cults can do that to some readily malleable minds. Just look at Jim Jones' Koolaid example..
Here, from David George Haskell, a well recognized biologist and research author, who has not tasted the Koolaid.
“But, to love nature and to hate humanity is illogical. Humanity is part of the whole. To truly love the world is also to love human ingenuity and playfulness. Nature does not need to be cleansed of human artifacts to be beautiful or coherent. Yes, we should be less greedy, untidy, wasteful, and shortsighted. But let us not turn responsibility into self-hatred. Our biggest failing is, after all, lack of compassion for the world. Including ourselves.”
― David George Haskell
