He said the same thing people have been saying for 20 years:
CO2 emissions growth is entirely in poor countries & China, so there's nothing white people can do about it.
None of those people give the slightest shit about "climate change", and it is futile to even try to change their minds.
But, like recycling (which doesn't work and is a waste of time), climate change related bullshit has nothing to do with reality, and everything to do with feelings. Idiots who want to feel good about themselves and tell themselves they're "good people" and feel good about diverting their negative emotions towards an artificial class of "bad people", will gleefully embrace climate change rhetoric as a sort of new religion. It's not rational, and it doesn't need to be. It should be mocked, but instead, it's winning, because it's easier for normies to just go along.
What XR and friends seem mostly to be is a bunch of extremely wealthy children desperately trying to run away from being called on their privilege by their own obnoxious friends, now that misery has become some kind of alternate currency.
And so they're required to make up fantastic tales in which, no, they are the poor downtrodden masses and their acts of wanton vandalism are in fact them standing up to The Man, even though That Man is, by and large, somebody else in their family.
This is why it makes total sense that a young white girl of college age from a hyper-liberal EU member nation has become the moral scold/spokesman for global warming agitation.
Recycling is just another business to make money and does fuck-all for the environment, which is exactly why they push it instead of Reusing (fix / repair) and Reducing (stop buying shit you don't need, ie that iphone every fucking year) since those actually work to some extent but that would mean they would be buying less useless shit.

I mean, technically, we can do something about the latter. The entire reason China dumps so much CO2 and pollution into the atmosphere is because so much is manufactured there. The only reason they manufacture so much is because of the many overburdensome regulations in place that make it impossible to manufacture within our own borders (without the use of sky high tariffs).
but, like recycling (which doesn't work and is a waste of time)
Like most things, there's an exception that proves the rule: aluminum. If you know anything about the process of "dug out of the ground" to "turned to usable metal", you'll understand the benefits. We're talking about a 95% reduction in energy spent, not having to as heavily rely on foreign countries for Bauxite, allowing existing Bauxite reserves to last for far longer, and avoiding the creation of red mud. Hell, even the waste that recycling it creates has found use as filler in asphalt and concrete.

Still worth more than dogecoin...

Nope, it is a net negative, although the companies paid by the govt to do it make money. See the following two articles by John Tierney:
Recycling is Garbage
The Perverse Panic over Plastic
