I call these sort of arguments Climate Optimism and I consider it a form of climate denial. The central thesis is that the climate crisis has already been solved with technology and capitalism. The worst offenders (like Max Roser of Our World in Data https://twitter.com/MaxCRoser https://twitter.com/MaxCRoser) overemphasize success in western countries and hint the problem lies in China and India not doing enough. A more run of the mill climate optimist claims that the efforts we’ve done so far are enough to avert disaster, and we just need to do more of the same. The YouTube channel Kurzgesagt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxgMdjyw8uw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxgMdjyw8uw) is guilty if this form of denialism.
