I hope you understand that your declaration sounds bonkers to any rational person? I understand of course that there is a possibility as the system is chaotic. But narrative wise this creates an impossible situation, where everything, even the movement in the supposedly right direction is bad? I would consider "What else do you want from me? ---- off" a normal and valid reaction to this.

Regardless of how it sounds to "any rational person," it's quite possibly true: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2612/can-poor-air-quality-mask...
In the short term, decreasing economic activity could raise temperatures. Your objection only makes sense in a bizarre universe where there are only all-good and all-bad choices. In our universe, good choices have bad effects and bad choices have good effects.

This theory speaks more to me of “because our effect on the environment is so excessive and unknown, we have no idea how the environment actually is naturally (in 2020)”
