He is right. We can't assume that just because climate change is real and something needs to done to restore natural climate by changing economic culture, that there aren't people trying to exploit the reform impetus as an excuse to manipulate governments and economies to various ends.
It's also a problem, however, that people are dismissing climate reform altogether because they think it is nothing more than a hoax to manipulate policy for political-economic reasons.
The fact is that industrialism has grown into a wasteful machine that uses resources at too fast a rate in light of what is really needed to provide people with a decent basic standard of living.
And because business is driven by the goal of maximizing revenue/profit, it is very difficult to reduce economic activity in areas that would benefit climate-reform and long-term sustainability without ultimately hurting people except by cutting down their money-making some.
The challenge is how to reform economic activity so that people and businesses do things in ways that are maybe less efficient in terms of time spent per unit productivity, but that conserve resources, re-use things that can be re-used, and substitute lower-energy tools/processes for higher-energy ones and reserve the use of higher energy tools/processes for only the most essential functions.
Likewise, when you see these construction sites where large swaths of land are cleared and then covered with sand to begin building, paving, and finally planting new trees and shrubs, that is ecologically irresponsible and builders should be only clearing parts of parcels that don't have any trees/ecology currently growing, protect those, and try to add unpaved soil where that natural growth can expand into, designing architecture with the theme of reforesting as much square footage as possible, while preserving whatever current trees/ecology currently exist on the land.
Of course people can plant new trees and plants, and sometimes that requires clearing away some existing growth, but they should just be more careful about not removing any more than necessary, and part of the reason they usually do remove more than necessary is that they are working with large machines that can efficiently clear a lot of area in a short amount of time, which costs them less in rental time and labor hours, but results in more ecological harm and waste instead of preservation.
