The environmentalist worries about the transition from an empty to a crowded planet. That is looking at the situation from the perspective of the scarce resource rather than the over-abundant resource.
The steward of God's bounty worries about the resource curse that comes of having been granted alienable, unearned wealth, which is even more of a problem when natural resources are abundant than when they become scarce.
The trouble with climate change is not too much CO2 pollution so much as it is the failure to honor the covenantal relationship between the animal and the plant kingdoms.
