No.
It's that if we can't even determine whose fault it is properly, we are sure to ruin the world rather than saving it. You can't avoid a catastrophe, if you arrive to the exact wrong conclusion and support the people most likely to bring it about.
Haiti was run by a corrupt despot, and the people resorted to cutting down every square inch of forest. This forest acts as a natural barrier to erosion and had plenty of fruits and berries. Their national dish is now freaking mud pies (not the cool kind with chocolate).
Easter Island had a bunch of nutter idolaters.
If we instead blame imperialism, then we get the entire story wrong.
You know what happened to countries that rejected imperialism, hoping that they would magically understand how to do things properly on their own? Well, it usually turned out that over time, they lost some of their old tribal skills (India was an exception, because Gandhi insisted they make the effort), and you get exactly Zimbabwe.
If you don't know Zimbabwe's history, it's a good idea what happens when you let socialism or social justice take over instead of industry. Basically, they had skilled white farmers in a country of apartheid. They decided to oust them, and give all their land to blacks. Fine, if they're trained. Only, they weren't, they were just picked cuz they're black. Suddenly you have shortages, and the money starts inflating. Alot. It turns out inflation has nothing to do with government debt and everything to do with whether money can be trusted to buy things. If you can't make things, money starts to rise in "value."
Why am I talking about Zimbabwe? It's because this is what countries actually look like who go the woke route. Many of the trendy cappuccino communists in America talk about how socialist environmentalism overlook that communist Russia is burned by radiation and by conspicuous production (specifically making far more steel than they needed, polluting lakes and forests). And behold, the solution "environmentalists" have for the environment is to go electric. Like many things here it looks good on paper, but the actual logistics is rampant mining and smelting of rare earth metals instead of reusing metal we already have (as ICE cars have done for decades) in order to move noticeable pollution from exhaust to unnoticeable but actually far worse pollution from power plants.
The way conservatives managed the environment is actually sensible. Ducks Unlimited is run by duck hunters. Most farms care about sustainability of crops and livestock because this is their product, and they care about it being there for generations to come. They don't make a fuss about conservation (maybe they should have). But they did a better job of it. Bulldozing forests to build damned solar powerplants is not conservation. It's radicalism. What does need to stop is industries that clear cut rather than selectively cutting for teak or whatever they're needing. But the woke left actually ruined many countries it tries to save.
And before you ask, third world countries don't want to be green. They want a better life. So the first world has to drive itself into poverty because the third world wants to develop. If you want to see polluted places, don't go after the US. Drive to Mexico City.
