You are sneaking in this inane premise that we exist under pure, free-market capitalism, and always have.

No I’m merely suggesting that those who own capital, especially major shareholders in environmentally destructive industries will simply try to be profitable however they can regardless of impact on the environment. They may even utilize state influence to do so. Hence why there is no “pure free market capitalism”, just class interests.
