The question is not "will capitalists do x", it's "is x profitable for the capitalists".
It's even worse. Profitable can still be worked around on a longer time scale, but currently it's 'will I get richer in the next 3 months'. Which is wildly destructive to literally everything. The world, the economy, their own businesses, even their own life and lifestyle. The world is held hostage by the financial equivalent of crack addicts chasing the next high at all costs.
Exactly. We're seeing headline after headline now about people dying because of climate change, and it's evident that the capitalists and the people they pay off are entirely unconcerned so long as they profit.
