I don't believe that the title is an accurate summary of the person's quote. Based on the body text, he said that he wanted to constrain demand rather than supply. He did not say that oil and gas did not matter.
I don't know what global consensus is on constraining demand rather than supply, but just going off what targets I've seen, I believe that his statement is probably in-line with what is being done around the world. I don't see people talking about constraining extraction, like a country targeting N bcm of extraction of natural gas by year Y. Rather, they talk about constraining consumption, like not emitting more than N amount of carbon dioxide (the emissions being when combustion occurs) or limiting the number of internal combustion engine cars being sold by year Y.
And you want the world to choose either consumption or production to be the constraint, since if some do some and some the other, you won't have any constraint -- just a bunch of permissive suppliers sending to permissive consumers.
