More nature worship.
Our lives do not depend on 'nature'.
Our lives as they are depend on society. It's not 'nature' that gives me food & electricity. It's a supermarket and an energy co.

Environmentalism is a dangerous ideology that, by demanding we increase our dependence on nature, will make us more vulnerable to its changes and whims.
These people are nuts, and have no idea how society relates to 'nature'.

"Ah, but", says the green, "the stuff they sell in the supermarket comes from nature".
No. The stuff sold in the supermarket was produced by a farmer. He battled nature, day and night, using skills developed over thousands of years, to cope with its changes and insults.

"But the stuff that the energy company sells you", answers the green, "that comes from nature!"
No. It comes from humans developing the understanding of how to find, extract and use resources, such that we are NOT dependent on nature.

There is no such thing as natural providence. Life is a fight for survival, and society is an advance from such a condition. Industrial society even more so.
That's what the dangerous bullshit ideologues at @COP26 want us to forget.
