Note that the article said "and reverse" the damage. You even quoted it!
If you get a patient with a bullet wound, the first step is indeed to stop the guy next to him from shooting him again and again. 100% agree. But after you've done that it's time to stop the bleeding, dig out the bullet(s), stop infection, etc.
Cutting CO2 emissions is "stopping shooting the patient". Super important and the firs step to be sure! But not nearly enough. Not even by a long shot (pun intended).
