Notice the first guy is in a wooden boat and the second guy is in a boat most likely made out of some plastic-based fibers. ๐ค
The plastic isn't really a huge driver of climate change, the problems it causes are different.
For the climate change comparison, notice that the old boat has oars, but the new boat has a gas engine
The old boat also has a motor, note how it's still moving in the photo while the only person in it is in the back holding a tiller (and appears to be facing forwards).
