Yes. Both points A and B could benefit from regulation. A lot of things we do kill animals, insects, and plants. The house or office you're sitting in displaced a great deal of natural biosphere. It emitted and emits a great deal of carbon. Should we tear that down too? No, obviously not, because we enjoy living. You can't ignore those same tradeoffs when they happen to not be taking place in your back yard. We can make sensible regulation to minimize our impact but sometimes we need to make an impact to extract resources, just how it is.
