Well, you couldnt be more wrong in this root cause identification. The problem isn’t capitalism and never was (even though i knew you were heading there).

Why? Because capitalism is the only social construct that protects resources as they become more scarce. The problem is that, despite left leaning propaganda, we don’t actually have capitalism. The fuel for that bulldozer comes from the right to use force for coercion, NOT economic forces. The Vikings were not a capitalistic society, they bulldozed Iceland to be a treeless rock (a pretty one). Brazil, China, Russia are not Capitalist havens, but they are decimating their landscape at faster rates than even America.

Even the very construction of a corporation is a government entity that doesn’t exist in a capitalist society, how could it? How could people be given rights that other people don’t have, such as limiting their liability?

Subsidies, tax manipulation, grants, nationalization of resources, fighting wars to protect industires… none of these are examples of capitalism. Having the price go up when a resource get scarce, thats an example of an effect of having a capitalist society.

What would the price of gas be and how many people would own cars if the government didnt subsidize oil exploration, give tax breaks for various aspects of refinement, use emminent domain and claim land ownership to make sure pipelines are straight, pay for interstate highways that clearcut the land into a criss cross pattern covering the entire continent.

The bulldozer is government powered and has always been since the dawn of time. The problem is that there is way too little capitalism, and fighting climate change is assumed to be a government job.

You are right. There is no point in fighting it because government caused it, and will never let up until it crumbles.
