It doesn't matter to the rich if they can make more money. "Is the world going to shit in 2050? Until then we are already dead after a long life full of comforts, screw the rest, including our children." Shit from greedy parasites which rule the world, applauded and voted for by subnormals who don't even know how to piss a hole in the snow without a manual.
Capitalist countries aren't the worst polluters, though. It's places like Iraq, Chad, and Pakistan. China and India also throw out some heinous shit and have way too many people.
