Did anyone else hear growing up "Environmentalism is un-Christian because it's a form of Gaia worship (and therefore idolatry)"? (hexbear.net)

This randomly popped into my head from my childhood, I searched for it online, and apparently it's not even that uncommon of a Christian take today.

I didn't grow up Christian but I haven't heard that argument, that is just absurd to me. Aren't we supposed to respect and have love for God's creatures and the world made for us? How do they even arrive at that conclusion?
