I think that what’s being said is more like, “the good things I do are so important that my personal carbon footprint is irrelevant”.
Which is fine, as long as each and every one of us gets to make that personal judgment and that decision about themselves.
Edit:
In my case, not. When I want information about possible threats to my health, safety or livelihood, people who are paid to read fiction written by others are pretty darn low on the list of sources I consult.
