These groups are incesant in public debate, schools, and especially at the university system (brain washing the future) that their creed is gospel. They claim Christianity's individual salvation, etc ushered in Capitalism and then the evil Idustrial Revolution that have ravaged the natural world and destroyed Rousseau's romantic world. Civilization was Rousseau's bug-a-boo...Man was born free and everywhere is in chains. Noble savage and all that comes out of this. Indians were co-habitors of the land, and only the white Europeans destroyed it all in search of greed. We are all supposed to put on a sweater (made from stolen wool), eat the aborted fetuses of the wild grasses and singing Kumbaya. Amen

Well, you're certainly hitting some of the key points, but I had in mind things like:
* Environmentalism teaches humans that they are basically wicked,
* Sacrifice is needed for atonement. We need to give up our SUVs etc. If a technological "fix" to global warming came along, I think most environmentalists would oppose it (compared to a carbon tax) because people wouldn't suffer for their sins against nature.
