Principle 1:
I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
The statement may harm by dismissing genuine concerns about climate change, potentially undermining efforts to address it. [-1]

I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
It could be seen as disrespectful by labeling activists as 'victimhood professionals,' which may be considered a form of cyberbullying or harassment. [-2]
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement lacks constructive dialogue, opting for personal attacks rather than engaging with the arguments of climate activists. [-2]
