At this point I’m 95% certain Capitalism won’t be able to destroy the planet seeing as how:
A) Capitalism (and any other ideology for that matter) doesn’t happen in a vacuum (a fact which most people seem to forget or not even consider when making climate change predictions)
B) China is now the world’s leading hegemony.
C) Humans are too far spread out to go extinct except possibly at the hands of heat death via increased luminosity of the sun (predicted in around 2.8 billion years). Keep in mind our first climate change projection didn’t take into account elevation, so China will still be around in some form, just mostly in the Himalayas.
Sorry but most people’s pessimism regarding the future of the planet just isn’t warranted considering all of these facts.
