I will type slowly. Please, try to pay attention, and, comprehend the meaning of the words.
An extremist is anyone who goes completely beyond what is considered to be reasonable and prudent behavior. An "environmental extremist" is one who might advocate laws that would ban such things as the internal combustion engine, any usage of petrochemicals, outlawing wooden furniture and other construction that required the harvesting of trees, forbidding the consumption of meats due to the hazards involved with animal farts and farming to raise the stock, and declaring we are doomed due to some predicted global warming when the facts indicate the earth is actually cooling. Ha! A decade ago, the same idiots were exclaiming the coming of an ice age that would freeze us all.
There are Marxist (that's a commie, just to be sure you understand) who have intentions of bringing America to her knees via disabling our abilities to prosper with our capitalistic economy. Marxist think capitalism is bad. Very bad. They try to figure out ways to make it fail. Marxist have found a home in the environmentalist movement. Hell, they probably created it. If America can't have industry, energy, and transportation because there is a degree of pollution involved, we fall on our economic faces. The Marxist know this, and are attempting to make it impossible for us to exist in the manner which has served us well by raising "environmental" objections to the industries that fuel capitalism. If anyone dares to disagree with their assertions they are quickly labeled polluters who want to poison the planet's air and water, even if scientific evidence says otherwise.
We can't drill for oil, we can't build new refineries, we can't split atoms (for peaceful purposes), and we are about to be slammed with a "carbon tax" that will "save the polar bears", and fund further Marxist indoctrinations.
I'm not sure what environmental positions the Native American Indians held. That was way before my time. It is pretty obvious they weren't too smart though. They were defeated rather quickly. Had they killed the new comers as soon as they set foot on the shore, and continued to do so, they would have prevailed and kept their lands. But, they lost and to the victors go the spoils.
I don't pretend to know what your God intended. I do know that we should all do our part to insure we have clean air to breathe, and pure water to drink. Yes, we should be good stewards of the environment and keep our messes cleaned up. However, we should also realize that mankind is a part of nature. When we pump some oil, light a fire, or harvest resources it is "natural". Unless we do something really stupid, and, in a big fashion, nature usually compensates and helps with the remediation. Oh! Speaking of nature. Good ol' Mother Earth can burp a fair amount of pollution in the form of fire, brimstone, smoke, and ash when she wants too. She can come along and wipe out thousands, and thousands of lives in one good shake, or, strong wind, as well. In the grand scheme of things, man is almost irrelevant, and just along for the ride.
As far as smacking you is concerned, I fear it would be a wasted effort. Some folks could be beat over the head with a book of knowledge to no avail. There are some things that just can't be fixed.
And, as much as I appreciate your offer to
"now come and get you some, bitch"!
, I must decline. I'm almost certain you are the wrong gender, and even if you aren't the wrong gender, you are positively not my type.
Now, hurry along. Algore and the polar bears are waiting for you down at the theater. Bring your friends and family. They need for you to buy some tickets otherwise the coorporate jet will run out of fuel.
More fodder born every minute...... 
I should have typed slower...
