That has been popular criticism going back at least to the 70s. Sometimes it is even true.

Much more often, "anti-progress" is pretty meaningless code for "attacks things I like".

I mean, make no mistake, there are all sorts of bad ideas in environmental circles, including some outright fascists. But nut-picking weirdos to brand anyone involved in environmental policy circles is just nasty propaganda, no different than calling all capitalists slavers.
