I don't think either of those things is true.
If I interpretted what Forfi said in response to my post correctly, he is all for companies being cleaner e.g. by using less energy, just resents people being made to spend a lot of money on climate change prevention when there are more immediate and definite problems that the money could be spent on (like clean water and education for all I guess). In some ways I agree with him, although my angle is a bit different - I wouldn't like to see companies forced to adopt end-of-pipe technologies, I'd rather they were encouraged to think about prevention rather than cure, by simplifying and rationalising all their processes. But he's more than able to speak for himself
so we'll have to see what he has to say about this.
And there are plenty of companies making efforts to be greener and plenty of people working on commercialising green technologies. You just have to open your eyes to stories other than those of gloom and doom to find the good news. And the world is gradually getting cleaner, not dirtier. Look at what's happened to the Thames in London.
