Attacking caveman cultists is not a dismissal of environmentalism.
There is an enormous distinction between pure waste or negligence such as what we see here, and genuine activity that benefits people.
If I were leaving my windows open with the AC/heating on full blast, or burning plastic in my garden - sure, that's not cool.
But going after genuine things with utility (eating meat, driving, having children, etc) is the quickest way to get me to completely ignore what you're saying.
These changes don't make the world better. They would make my life significantly worse, whilst potentially very slightly improving the lives of people who are ascetic.
