You're getting downvoted because it's hard to believe there are any folk out there who are arguing in good faith that climate change is not at least partially (if not majorly) impacted by man-made causes. Capitalism being a driving factor would go hand in hand with climate change due to its proponents of "fuck you I got mine" and get rich at any cost. Capitalism is not for the people, it is for the capitalist, and the capitalists have shown that they are willing to burn the world down for short term gains. See the picture above.

If you can tell me you believe that fossil-fuel executives, having looked at this picture, think "oh man we really should've been listening to scientists for the past half century", then I can show you a liar.
