laws were passed in capitalist countries to remove it promptly

Promptly on what timescale? Geological?

It's always too little too late. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be in this mess. Reality speaks for itself.

CFOs, lead on petrol were removed pretty fast considering the scale of usage being done. Lowering CO2 emissions will be much harder though since it's required to replace technologies we've been using for decades.

The fact there's so much lobbying against nuclear it's very retarded since we could've lowered emissions by a lot if were not for these people. And again, the loudest opposition isn't even capitalist, some are more leaning left and even call themselves "environmentalists".
