I didn't find that section and neither did ctrl-F (search) in the page.

I put "Epstein climate change disaster" into Google News and got several hits. Didn't find that exact paragraph (but I didn't look hard).

This one backs up the text you have. (Fast Company, via Yahoo)

Epstein’s views, those conversations reveal, included peddling climate denialism and ecofascism—and illustrate how the ultra-wealthy undermine meaningful climate action.

“Potentially a good thing for the species”
In a series of July 2016 emails with Joscha Bach, a German philosopher, AI researcher, and cognitive scientist, Epstein brings up climate change in the middle of a discussion about cognition and race.

“Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation,” Epstein writes. “the earths forest fire. potentially a good thing for the species.”
