He's probably right. However there are a ton of people who are perfectly willing to burn down the world only to be buried with their gold.

We do need green legislation with teeth: completely banning single use plastics, fully standardizing plastic packaging and making it super expensive via taxes (but reimbursing returns!), decommissioning all coal power plants in at most 1 decade, banning sales of ICE cars in at most 15 years, etc.

My wife works for a manufacturing industry association and is regularly in meetings where owners and executives rant and rave about single use plastic bans like it is the worst thing to happen to them since the 5 day work week. It's incredibly demoralizing. We're not going to solve enough of these problems for it to matter.
