Desperate for what? It's a fact that capitalism can accommodate any catastrophe and help those who have capital profit from it. That's why the rich are not worried about global warming. They know eventually millions, maybe even billions will die, and the planet will be theirs for the taking. Imagine all the profit to be made from the creative destruction. They even know that no one will make them pay for it... all the capital that has been privatized that caused all the environmental damage, no one is going to go to them and say hey you have to pay for all this global warming and all these people suffering because of it. That boat has already sailed. Same goes for rich nation vs. poor nations, the rich nations which industrialized and caused this mess will not have to pay for it, the poor nations that can't afford it will. Environmental destruction favors those who do the destruction as they have reaped the rewards by the time those who have not have to pay for it. And maybe the retort is that this is too conspiratorial and no one ever meant for any of this to happen it just did out of self-interest. And if that's how schizophrenic your civilization is, in that it has no consciousness to see what it's doing and stuff just happens out of self-interest and good intentions. Then maybe you need to reconsider how you are doing things... and maybe you need a narrative to guide your decision making that paints the various actors for what they are rather than machines acting in self-interest.
