Exactly this. Climate change is used to allow people to pretend they're doing good for the environment, but it's really just green washing our actually environmentally destructive practices, like as mentioned nutrient runoff from agriculture, or the insect apocalypse (and subsequent bird and other animal life / diversity collapsing).

Some people hate to hear it, but it's debatable whether the whole conversation around climate change is beneficial or in fact detrimental to real environmental causes.
