He says a wealth tax will be more effective than a carbon tax at stopping climate change. What planet is he living on? Is reducing the wealth of billionaires supposed to stop Big Plastic from lobbying? He mentions Bill Gates' personal carbon output without mentioning his investments in nuclear power research and other initiatives? Also does anyone really think that if North Korea were more prosperous, they would be polluting less than capitalist countries? The problem isn't inherent and unique to capitalism, the problem is reckless selfishness and disregard for externalities that can emerge from cronyism (lobbying under a capitalist system), but also from nationalism and corruption which are not unique to capitalist systems. A system that is socialist internally but with high levels of nationalism will be prone to pollute because they don't care about the global commons.
