> Concentrated harm vs dispersed harm. still coal. Note that the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is great for wildlife

Let's remove humans from Earth completely and all the environmental problems will be solved.

I tend to agree with your other arguments.

I think the point was just that it didn't leave that zone a barren inhospitable wasteland, not that we should count that as a plus.

You're not wrong; the best way to fight climate change is population decrease (and therefore consumption decrease), but that'll require some serious dystopian measures - population control (like China's strict child birth laws), inaction (do not help in case of natural disasters, famine), genocide, etc. And that's probably not a guarantee either.
