oh, I think its worse than that.
"nothing will change until we have extracted maximum value from selling you the poison and you then beg us to sell you the 'solution', suckers!"
Earth will be just fine. People are fucked.
The only way that anyone in government is trying to solve this is via more money to corporations. Pay them to switch to X. Buy Y from them to replace Z.
Carbon credits are a con. Solar and wind are great, but they don't actually solve emissions on their own; you have to mandate the closure of the non-green energy sources too. And lots of emission sources are not even being targeted at all.
