Phil Elmore thinks infantile fear motivates the “greenies,” based on his own childhood experiences:

. . . . anxiety is the driving force behind today’s environmentalist activists. While I eventually came to my senses [after being exposed in school to attempts to make me worry about an impending ecological doomsday], developing an adult’s sense of realism and the ability to use basic logic, many wide-eyed children never realize this innate capacity for reason. Primed by fear, worry and helplessness at an early age, they become the hectoring, self-righteous, insufferable “green” cultists who spend their time trying to make you toe their environmentalist line. Previously in Technocracy, I described to you the spiritual fervor of these green religionists. If you won’t listen to them voluntarily, then by Gaia, they’ll make you listen by bludgeoning you with the force of law. Any violation of your rights as a free citizen is justified to the green religionists, because they’re afraid. Their anxiety, their helplessness, instilled in them from childhood, is untempered by common sense, unleavened by pragmatism and touched by neither logic nor skepticism. They are true believers. In their minds, the failure to believe individually is a sentence of death collectively.
