The blog post clearly states what the link to climate activism is according to the blog author. The conflict of interest of the meta study authors and suspected opposition to gas stoves on climate grounds by the regulator is clearly stated.
Calling this "climate activism" cheapens the phrase; that's not what this is. This is industry lobbying from a bunch of people who want to sell electric appliances. They'll be perfectly happy if these things are powered with heaps of bituminous.
