> I point it out only to say "somebody will do something to fix climate change, so don't worry about it" is not a sound position either.

That wasn't his position though. His comment had specific context, your critique did not.

Otherwise I absolutely agree with you, my thinking is that humans should try precision in communications (more popularly known as "pedantry", except when scientists do it) about these wicked problems because what we're doing now seems to cause more harm than help, and as you say time is of the essence.
