About one-third of drivers of Prius hybrids failed to yield to pedestrians in a series of experiments on crosswalks in the San Francisco Bay area, giving the brand one of the highest rankings for "unethical driving," say psychologist Paul Piff of the University of California, Berkeley, and a team of colleagues. Drivers of hybrids "who believe they're saving the Earth may feel entitled to behave unethically in other ways," says Piff, who is quoted on sciencemag.org.

Someone is not paying attention. The overarching mindset of the global warmers is this: Humans are evil and don't deserve to continue on the planet.
In this context, the study merely observes their normal attitude toward people.
Regarding the article about hybrid drivers ignoring people in crosswalks, I have also noticed that whenever I see a hybrid driver, they are usually driving faster than the speed limit. It's as if they have some *special right* to the road...
