It's an extremely reasonable POV considering that he doesn't exclude human behavior as a variable. Unfortunately, most CC extremists do this to such a degree that their arguments are laughable/psychologically concerning.
People aren't going to (and frankly, shouldn't have to if there's an option/solution) dial back their lifestyle unless they're forced at the barrel of a gun or it happens by circumstance. That it's even possible to rely on technology as a solution is a good thing and makes sense.
Why make life miserable if you don't have to? And to be clear: we absolutely don't. Any miserable outcome is redirecting technology away from a solution (e.g., safe, abundant nuclear energy) towards technocratic authoritariaism (digital IDs, CBDCs, etc) and other psychopathic control systems that rely on extreme subjugation of human beings.
