The eco-terrorists talk about humanity being the infection and responsible for the imminent global extinction. While they are clearly referring to us being irresponsible with the environment in general, the existence of Titans gives a darker context to some of the man-made disasters like atomic testings (which awakened Godzilla in the first place) and strip mining (which awakened the MUTOs). The most ominous is about humans' effect on global warming, which, just like in real life, has started to melt the polar ice caps. And where is King Ghidorah imprisoned? In Antarctica. Humanity was already (and inevitably) in the process of unleashing the greatest disaster upon the Earth. The eco-terrorists just brought the apocalypse ahead of schedule. In a meta sense, Ghidorah in this film in a way represents an allegory of climate change just how the 1954 Godzilla represented nuclear war. He is unleashed from Antarctica, would have been freed by the melting of the polar ice caps, destabilizes the weather and causes Hostile Terraforming that threatens the existence of all life, just how human activity in real life has caused abnormal weather patterns and damage to the atmosphere.
