There are twice as many people on the earth now than when I was born. The rate is slowing, but the population is still growing. The UN predicts there will be 9.7 billion people by 2050. So the problem won't be self correcting until it is far too late. Scientists have been warning of a point of no return most of my life, which was promptly ignored, or actively refuted by anyone with the power to do anything about it. We blew past that point years ago, and still aren't making much progress. So, pardon me if I don't share your optimism, even as bleak as it was.

I think thats because most informed people realize , evin if they cut out every ounce of carbon we emit our whole lives , the moderate to ultra rich , but particularly the ultra rich , are producing well over 50% of the c02 , methane, butatane, and other greenhouse gasses like its their sole purpose in life to fuck over the poor.

It's a problem of the commons. It's not in the interest of an individual company to take on their responsibility (apart from some do-gooding greenwashing). The only answer is collective action, and that's really hard.
