The MO of industrialization has always been corporate profits on environmental destruction while having taxpayers pay for the aftermath. Privatize the winnings, socialize the losses.
It's time to have corporations responsible for fixing the aftermath of their quarterly targets.
People following your ideology don't care about global warming, they care about blaming the West (the ones making an effort to clean things up) at every turn while giving a pass to the countries actually polluting the planet (just as long as they aren't westerners).
China now produces more CO2 that all other 1st world countries together [1], while having increased their emissions by 300% in the last 30 years and are set to increase them a further 30% during the next 10. [2]
USA maintained their emissions during the past 30 years and are set to slightly reduce them in the next 10. [3]
EU reduced their emissions by 25% during the last 30 years, and are set to reduce them a further 20% during the next 10. [4]

The best part is how easy it is to be carbon negative. I am, and lots of the people pointing fingers at China aren’t. So, take the beam out of your eye.
And this is not counting that what’s important is the area under the curve, not the present value.
