Heh fair enough...
I personally sit on the middle in this.
I think you're right that the greenhouse gas emissions issue is the greater problem right now. But I do also get irked by the way that alternative options are often presented as an easy fix (except for fission which everyone hates even though it's clearly the best one).
I'm not gonna get fully drawn into the whole Bezos thing again, except to say that I believe his ultimate goal for pushing this space program is to get humans living in space so that we stop fucking up the planet. I read a interesting interview a number of years ago where he explained this, but I cannot for the life of me now find it (I think it was in some Airline's onboard magazine). So, no doubt he is bit of a ruthless cunt, same as Musk, but if their space programs can be made viable long term then I think that's a good thing.
