That's just lazy stupid writing, Namor should be a symbol of fight against pollution and climate change when written correctly. These days if the character is a strong male and a figure of authority he has to be made a buffoon that will be put in his place and proven wrong by the smaller weaker looking but much more stronger and heroic character. Marvel is letting these writers assassinate all their strong male characters. Who is left untouched, Black Panther and Captain America?
