Well, of course.
First: This behavior is typical of all bureaucrats at all times (cf "He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance", 1776).
Second: Any government position titled "Environmentalist [I, II, III, XXLVI, whatever] is going to attract lunatics who are faithful believers in a pseudoscience. Their delusions are shared by lots of good-hearted folk, so they can mostly practice their false religion without too much pushback.
