I think that they're actually supposed to be pro-human, although they might be pro-everything (I should replay the games). Magma wanted to expand the land so there'd be more places for people to live, and Aqua wanted to expand the ocean because the ocean can support more life and that would help people, I think. (From a technical standpoint, humans generally do quite well on small islands surrounded by fish, so it's less completely insane than it first appears.)

Yeah, they are pro-human, but they do play favoritism with pokémon, as they talk about wanting to help them, too. Either that, or they're just too stupid to realize that any sort of global environmental change will inevitably hurt some species, even it does help others.

As Team Aqua didn't seem to realize that eternal cloudcover would have a few repercussions beyond enlarging the ocean, my money is on "too stupid".

Yeah, that's what I was just thinking. "Never ascribe to malice what can be attributed to ignorance" is pretty much Team Aqua and Team Magma's tagline.
