This is starting to sound like a 10 year old trying to convince their parents to get them a dog.

It reminds me that time when we were made to stay locked at home and some people where elated because "Nature was taking over and Earth was healing it self..". Some even mentioned the "Overpopulation problem" while bodies were pilling up in some countries/cities.

This one is not as tone deaf but it reads as light as a kid wanting to play video games all day and only eat candy..

Maybe we ought to listen to the proverbial 10 year old, their ideas haven't been broken by cultural and societal "realities", and it's good to try to fix things & escape local maxima. Not everything needs to stay the same.
Indeed, we can go back to living at pre-Industrial Revolution standards and have a great effect on the climate.
