These people believe that humanity is doomed if we do not cut carbon emissions dramatically and fast. Since carbon emissions are a function of population and the third world is slowly adopting the higher emission first world life-styles, our total emissions are only going to go up, even if we cut back 50% right now.
The logical conclusion of this sort of cultish thinking is that we need to reduce the population. By a lot. I mean, like, 90% or more.
So if you believe we are all going to die in 10 years if we don’t “do something, now!” like a good little cult-follower, and if you believe carbon is bad, and if you believe people are never going to cut back in a meaningful manner, well, you’re just a few steps from mass casualty genocide as the only logical solution to ensure the preservation of the human race and all life on Earth.
That level of cult-brainwashing means you don’t care about your family. You don’t care about your children. You are in it for the survival of the species and all sacrifices are justified.
That’s the only way I can explain how people can push and justify this stuff without being flat out psychotic.

I don't think they believe all that. I think they are part of what they see as a better life for THEM at the expense of the people.
