About the only thing that made sense out of that was the fact that "environmentalism", if by that you mean a certain value system saying that it's worth preserving the environment, is more like religion than science.
I freely acknowledge that whether we should try to avoid global warming is not a scientific question, it's a question of self-preservation and moral values. Whether we should avoid arsenic in the water because people get sick from it is also a moral question, not a scientific one. To claim that this means research on whether arsenic makes people sick is not science is ridiculous.
