You have two options:
Kill industry

Isolated compound

Neither is guaranteed to pay off.

There's loads of options.

Plenty of science that could potentially save us if invested properly.

Lab grown meat. Carbon capture. Using said carbon capture for building materials. Nuclear fusion. Outer atmosphere energy generation. Etc.

There's also cutting back on our consumerism.

Once it gets bad enough that it affects the super rich the world's governments will miraculously and quickly act as one.

Highly doubt we can have our cake and eat it too. By the time the ultra wealthy feel it. They'll be ordering next quarterly earnings from their bunkers. We've already Fist of the North Star'd ourselves.
