Most environmental solutions are also being created in capitalist societies, and the richest countries (which by coincidence are capitalist) are the ones that are decreasing their emissions by a considerable amount.

Only because those capitalists societies are offloading the work that generates those emissions on to poorer countries because it's cheaper to do it there.

Yes, the German method. We lower our emissions not by using nuclear power, but by moving our coal outside of EEA and buying it back at 5x the price!

We will be able to decrease emissions, never get them to 0. Hence maybe some CO2 extraction will be needed.

It's cheaper and most importantly they allow it. These countries want growth, they want to attract investment, have work for the people. It's a win-win relationship otherwise these countries wouldn't allow it.
