Sure it does. Civilization is responsible for the destruction of the planet and Russia historically, along with ALL industrialized nations is as much responsible for the planet's health as any other nation. There have been commenters here and elsewhere portraying Putin as a savior when in fact he's just more of the same.
This is a classic example of "whataboutism" that has little, if anything, to do with the point of this essay.
Why your sudden concern for Climate Change? The essay is about "misinformation".
Where has anyone portrayed "Putin as a savior"? Perhaps in the context of saving Russia from the Western Oligarchy, but where in this exchange has anyone come close to pushing that idea? A search of all the comments seems to indicate that you, and you alone, are the only one talking about Putin. Where is your support for a claim that Putin is denying Climate Change or does not recognize the pollution faced in that city?
You're just trying to say that if the end of the world happens, it is all Russia's fault. How simplistic.
"...and the biosphere trembles with extreme anxiety for its health."
Here's Putin doing his part.

Oh com'on!
