In answer to "How should people balance their own impact while leading an adventurous lifestyle?"

"I'm on a mission to get people to feel less guilty"

I'm with him on trying to get people to feel less guilty. I've noticed the shame that people feel, can sometimes stifle climate action, whether through making individual choices or joining some collective political movement to bring the change. 

But instead he seemed to be saying, 'don't feel guilty because we all take flights and there is going to be some technology to save the day and you can continue doing exactly what you've been doing' 

I found the interview to be an implicit form of climate denialism.
