You're not alone. Many people share that view. You're right from your perspective.

Taking a step outside that view for a minute, I think part of the appeal of environmentally focused value systems is it allows you a trump card what stands above all else with moral supremacy. Once you've made a pronouncement nothing can usurp it and you don't ever need to back down. Because within that morally focused environmental value system environmental considerations trump everything else.

In short it's a way to be absolutely right which is very attractive and a lot of people subscribe to it. Standing above others is a very satisfying place to be.

Funnily enough, I think that's part of what Christo's work explores. In taking these grand monuments and covering them up he is sort of posing the question that something else can stand above them. Perhaps our projections? From that point of view I think you can consider his work as a monument to the the collective ego we put into our own pronouncements upon things. Which is pretty cool. Art can do that.
