Quite apart from the evidence suggesting we need a massive economic shift away from carbon emissions right now to have any chance of stopping runaway global warming, capitalism isn’t about meeting people’s needs, let alone environmental ones.
Economic growth is a tenet of capitalism and contradictory to the constraints of living on Earth. The statement that capitalism (including the state capitalist countries that claim to be socialist or communist) will do anything to significantly curb climate change in the timescale needed is wrong.
