Yeah, but if any one of them diverts a useful amount of resources to mitigate global warming the other sharks will turn on them and rip them to pieces instantly. To say nothing of the sharks in Saudi, Russia, and Texas who would instantly become small fish if serious climate mitigation was attempted.
For most of them, they're psychopaths stuck in the prisoner's dilemna with other psychopaths, and they got to the position they're in by always choosing to betray the other prisoner, so they can't trust anyone. And for a lot of them their status as bourgeoisie is intrinsically tied up in setting the planet on fire as quickly as possible. Oil barons, beef barons, lumber barons, all kinds of barons cannot and will not agree to mitigation under any circumstances.
