I think this is somewhat reasonable, but also I think that a lot of facts in this quote have been selected to be misleading, so I have a personal distrust of this guy.
E.g. singling out hurricanes rather than drought, wildfire, floods, or heat waves (not even mentioned) - why do you think hurricanes were chosen? https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/chapter/chapter-11/ Turns out it could have been floods too—those have been moving around but not getting worse on average. The other things are getting worse though.
Paris agreement compared to “amount needed to limit warming to 1.5C” rather than to a more clear number (Is limiting warming to 1.5C even physically possible now? Would it need to be a reduction so large it puts us far in the negatives of carbon emitted, thus making the “1%” number technically correct?)
