I would posit the problem is more so "Is having a livable habitat for the earth's inhabitants political?"

Everything is political as it seems, even mere existence of our trans fellas, because it's either needs to be changed via politics or can get weaponized by bad faith actors as a populist take. Survival is sometimes political. And as an old soviet saying goes, if you aren't that interested in politics, politics may become interested in you.

As resource extractors use politics as a vehicle to lobby their interests, fucking with them is indeed political, even if it's a universally accepted cause like a survival of humankind.
