In fact, there is even a backlash and stigmatization of critics of the system as "socialists" or just ignorant or crazy.
It really is disturbing and bizarre.

No it isn't capitalism is the best system out there, yes it's flawed. The proposals from self professed socialists are downright crazy and would never work in fact they'd bankrupt nations and the entire economy would collapse. Then the last thing you'd have on your mind is carbon emissions.
Climate change and pollution is an extraordinarily complex problem no one has anything close to a solution, anyone saying so is a liar. Do the most basic math energy per person and try to replace that with clean energy. You can't even come close. Never mind the millions of products produced using dirty sources.
