Jeremy Clarkson is not “super against environmentalism”. In fact he is on record as being very concerned about the environment, especially recently.

I think this perception stems largely from some of his views on Environmentalists, not Environmentalism itself. But if you really listen to him over the years, he has a deep love for the world he's gotten to see so much of. He lived in a village in Vietnam that barely knows what cars are.
He loves the planet, just has a distaste for the way some people go about protecting it at the expense of others

"protecting it at the expense of others".
Maybe they have a distate for everyone harming it at the expense of others.
Astoundingly one sided logic

Mainly that there seems to be a campaing against the car and not against industries (which are much more harmful)

You also can't forget all the jokes he told about the Prius and other electric/hybrid cars that in reality do more damage then good.

Well to be fair it has been shown that the pollution in making that car is so bad that nasa uses the area to test how resilient its moon rover is

Mining lithium for lithium ion batteries is one of the most harmful processes in car manufacturing. Not to mention only 2% of all lithium is actually ever recycled.

And yet still nets less emissions over its lifespan than combustion.

Top gear made fun of the G-Wiz 15 years ago. We all made fun of electric cars and and such back then. And anyways, lead acid based electric cars wasn't even registered as cars, many were four wheel motorcycle. And would never pass crash tests and regulations for cars.
Things have changed, and people change too. I have an e-golf now and I'm really happy with it.

He is most certainly not against environmentalism. He just mocks the climate alarmists and hypocritical activists in his own Clarksonesque way.

You should be a climate "alarmist". Unless you're 60+ and a sociopath

-17 downvotes for pointing out the fact that it's climate catastrophe is going to be within our lifetime.
I love that I have to share oxygen with these kinds of morons, it's really great.
But nah, it's those darn environmentalist elitists who are the problem, by inconveniencing other people because modern conveniences are often incredibly harmful to the environment.
If there's one good thing about climate change, it's that I'll get to see these twats crying "why me!?" when we all die in a drought while the wealthy have access to water, and get to say the biggest "told you so" in history.
