I think what he and others have often stated is that even though there are serious problems, the solutions of the so called environmental crowd make the problem less. The problem with Haiti is the simple fact it is a Socialist hell. No one owns the trees in Haiti so there is on incentive to maintain them for profit. What is frustrating is that there are solutions to the problems you state, but leftists around the world prevent their implementation because of their utter hatred of Capitalism
I agree totally.
