I watched the DW video and I'm proud to say I knew it all already.
It's a scam by environmentalists to make money for themselves. The hilarious part is at the end when the guy comes up with the best way to stop this is have another corrupt bureaucracy of paper pushers "monitoring". More administrative "fixes". It's just as hilarious as the "in-crowd" jetting off to Davos, Switzerland, every year in their private jets to discuss how to take the proles for more and more.
How did I know all of this already? Because Shyster Vice President Al Gore was at it 25 years ago doing the same exact thing!
It's all about forming guilt in your head and then taking advantage of it to line their pockets. Companies and politicians do it so well. Learn from history.
I'll agree *empirically* that statist types tend to want to *monetize* / commodify whatever latest thing has the most eyeballs -- but I don't think it's a 'political' thing anymore at that point. It's *business*, the business of selling-out the planet, which is something possible only at the scale of *corporations*.
