I wondered how you could possibly find this article sensical, but you provide the explanation right here.

If you avoid negative news stories, then of course the idea that more business as usual will make everything come out OK is completely reasonable.

Unfortunately, what is really happening is that we are systematically destroying our natural world with exponentially increasing consumption and exponentially increasing waste, and we've know about this for over fifty years and done nothing.

This article acknowledges all that - and then, astonishingly, claims without proof that more capitalism is what we need to fix it. But you can't make a buck by not selling things to people.
