I’m no expert, and I’ll even accept that, in the short term, I can see a scenario where more use of fossil fuels may, very sadly, become temporarily necessary. However for you to dismiss those warning of climate change and the need for greener energy sources as a ‘cult’ defies all rational explanation and is sheer stupidity.
We will disagree.
Lets take Swales description of WOKE.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being woke.
But it is hijacked by the zealots in that melee as well.
So the actual meaning gets lost.

The Green zealots have their "cult" where they are determined to turn the UK into the stone age.
These same people scream at the government for the prices of energy, yet don't want it used in balance with what people can afford.
They have a very nice habit, of protesting and screaming at western governments who actually are trying.
Never a scream at Chine/Russia/India/USA.

So no, cult sounds perfectly descriptive to me.
