Those who are overly obsession with the Carbon Footprint of people and their activities essentially worship the environment. Such people have an animosity towards those who pollute the object of their worship.
Environmentalism is just another perversion that overtakes those who are separated from the Lord.
If you doubt the use of the term 'worship' here just consider the fervency of the the environmentalist in their drive for lower and lower Carbon Footprints. Great amounts of money, opportunities and potential are sacrificed to their god.
The reality of the Lord's creation is that He foresaw the increase in carbon emissions and built into the plant kingdom the ability to adjust for the increase and bring it back into a healthy balance.
Another reality is that Fossil Fuels are not from fossils but were put into the earth by the Lord to provide energy for the development of great inventions of convenience and prosperity.
Unlike the short-sighted, knee-jerk reacting human leadership in the world, God anticipated not only our needs but also the consequences that our actions would have on His creation.
Unbelieving fools who have rejected the Lord have no confidence in creation and assume that they must protect it and uphold it.
All this being said, we should all be responsible for cleanliness and guard against wastefulness. But such reasonable behavior is sufficient. Extreme, changes in human behavior are not warranted.
