??? I did not get defensive. I was explaining why capitalism incentives pollution. Climate change is not the only thing that matters right now. Other things that matter are global nuclear war, genocide, fascism, authoritarianism, mass surveillance, etc. If governments were not mostly captured by money/capitalists, one solution could be the government forcing the internalization of pollution costs (carbon credits, fines, or taxation). Free markets will not do anything about climate change, it is a well-known and well-studied example of a market failure.
