Here is one link that supports my statement, “The Pope believes that when man returns to that natural harmony with nature, he becomes as a god to control nature.”:

The above link says that radical environmentalism rejects God the creator and replaces god with nature:
“The key to understanding modern environmentalism is that men seek to control every aspect of life for every other man in order that the earth may flourish. Note that it is the earth flourishing, not man. Men in general become a nuisance and thus expendable. Any future plans for earth in the environmentalist mindset necessitates a vastly reduced human population and thus betrays the real nature of the ideology. Radical environmentalism worships the earth.”
Since the natural world is the godhood, when man is in harmony with the natural world, he reaches that perfection of the godhood and is god. This is their Utopian goal.
and, the below link suggests that:

See this quote from the above link: “He [Al Gore] speaks of “Our religious heritage is based on a single earth goddess who is assumed to be the foundation of all life…all men have a god within. Each man has a god within because creation is God.” “ ...it may now be necessary to foster a new “environmentalism of the spirit” (p. 242). The ‘spirit’ Gore is referring to is the one he says is within man and the earth which certainly makes this a new religious category.”
The question was "Does Pope Francis believe that?" The answer is: no.
