the companies have probably already worked out their biggest profits yet could come from charging us for the mess and then the subsequent "cleanup".

they've probably already calculated that the bigger the mess, the more they can overcharge us for their half-arsed "cleanup"

at this point they probably WANT it to get AS BAD AS POSSIBLE, in order to maximise profits.

unfortunately their greed will surely blind them as to where the exact point of no return actually is.

It's already happening. I was reserving a rental car and at the checkout it asked if I wanted to pay an additional fee to go towards carbon offsetting measures.

I'm sure these are exactly the kinds of discussions happening in board meetings right now.
