The argument is that climate change is a result of capitalism which is demonstrably false.
So demonstrate it. The vast majority of pollution is caused by extremely profitable capitalist industries, supported by neoliberal capitalist states. And democratic will continues to swing towards reduction, yet states, bought off by fossil fuel companies, refuse to take action.
Those capitalist industries are either transportation or fossil fuels companies, and if they weren't capitalist, they'd still exist, and they'd still make the same shit.
And they'd also have to bend to the will of the people, unlike now. Currently, they are allowed to continue with absolutely no pushback.
Under a democratic market, they'd be forced to scale back fossil fuel production in favour of green energy. Because that's what the people want.
You also still haven't demonstrated your claim.
