What a crock. You do what any other right-wing fanatic would do--choose the worst, most extreme examples of those you fear and despise, and then slime everyone else by association. Those who seek to "exterminate humans" to save the Earth are an extreme, traumatized minority; the vast, vast majority of people who are terrified of what climate scientists are reporting (and what a constant barrage of prima facie evidence from catastrophes all over the planet confirm) are NOT misanthropes who prefer "nature" to "humanity." In fact, the very dichotomy which forms the premise of your claim--that "humanity" is other than "nature"--is utterly fallacious. We are a part of nature, not apart from it. If we destroy our biological support system, we destroy ourselves.
