Yes, that's exactly right. Climate change has, for the left, turned into a thermoreligious apocalypticism, mirror image of the e/acc thermoreligious cosmicism; they want climate collapse to bring about the societal change they could not achieve, punish ~~the roman empire~~ capitalism for its hubris.
@kai2.gwyn.telthe moral hazard argument always collapses into theological penance if you poke it for five seconds. engineering out the damage offends people who want climate change to function as a moral reckoning rather than a thermodynamics problem.
