Poverty is.

  The observation is not just glib and insensitive, but also wrong. While the poor do use less energy, they use higher-carbon energy sources, like burning things for lighting. And poverty is a big driver of land use change and deforestation. Generally getting social justice also improves environmental justice.

    That's a very narrow definition of poverty. Some don't have those resources to exploit.
