Yes, she's suffering from clinical depression and a profound inability to connect with her children and therefore desperately seeking connection with people to whom she owes no demands of care and self-mastery. This is more common of women than we want to acknowledge, and it's not just some sort of post-modern phenomenon that can be cured by telling the little women that their highest fulfillment can be found in the home. Not even 100% of female cats have perfect maternal instincts.

This really is a matter of you got the stuff or you don't. Our Judith is sublimating her desire to escape actual real motherhood by pretending--perhaps most profoundly to herself--a maternal care for the earth and its creatures. Plenty of parents, male and female, like her. You might say Gandhi and MLK Jr. were part of her tribe, too.

These climate cultists - like others stricken by various ideologies - have no higher order purpose. Many don't (and won't) have kids. So they get five cats and devote their lives to their 'new' gods yet call themselves atheists.
