To be fair, there are tons of bad actors. All the "stop polluting this is unethical" in the world isn't going to just stop the polluters unless real pressure is brought upon them. Aside from that, people just have different opinions, albeit often speaking out of ignorance or lack of reflection. Philosophy can't really help with that. If more people were open to discuss things in good faith, I imagine a lot of problems would be quickly solved.
