It could be solved (or helped at least) by a number of capitalism-compatible solutions, such as disrupting fossil fuels with technologies that can produce energy much more cheaply. Once it becomes a no brainer to use solar/wind instead of coal, to the point where you might as well shut the coal plant down (much like you'd shut the CRT TV factory down, or valve radio) then no amount of lobbying will make a difference. Coal usage will drop. A carbon price would be great though, but doesn't sound like we'd work that out. With a carbon price, a lot more investment could go in to sequestration tech looking for the payout of being the people that remove the most carbon.
