Okay, I’ll accept that I interpreted your initial question differently than you intended it. I should have clarified what you were referring to.
I’ve already stated that capitalism is not solely causing human driven climate change, other things obviously influence it as well. However, I will argue that capitalism encourages human driven climate change more readily than other socioeconomic models. This is because climate destroying methods of profiteering tend to make profits faster, and as discussed in many Economics 101 classes, “money now is more valuable than money later” because it can be invested. Ecologically friendly methods of profiteering tend to make profits slower and less often.
No I didn’t I asked what is exclusive to capitalism that is causing this [human driven climate change].
