This article raises a few points you already knew if you read The Economist that aren't wrong but aren't unusually insightful either. Other than that, I really don't like that it separates civilians from politicians and corporations. We form and staff our corporations and elect our politicians.

The Us vs. Them mentality doesn't work because there's only us. Those in power don't want to live on a destroyed planet any more than we do, and even if they did, we're the ones who keep voting them and their policies into office. The destruction has occurred almost entirely in democratic countries over the last century.
