    Rules and regulations are the opposite of free market capitalism. The only way to address climate change is to make society less capitalistic. The regulations required to fix climate change with capitalism would pretty much turn it into a different -ism.

    And that’s without considering whether billionaires will even let that happen.

      It’s already been figured out that unfettered capitalism does not work. Rules and regs are required, but it also requires a government beholden to people instead of big business to actually enforce said rules and regulations.

        Very true. Capitalist governments are compromised, and unable to perform their stated duties.
