Real question is if any of that happens quickly enough before climate change causes too much devastation.
It's a dark possible outcome: Capitalism becoming literally unstoppable in the lead up to total environmental collapse precisely because it expends no effort on trying to preserve a future, and so can materially out-compete other systems that are trying to save that future. That's the folly of liberal efforts to create "market based solutions" to environmental problems, and is why western liberalism is definitely not going to have a future.
It's a scarily plausible outcome, and reinforces how changing behaviour in western countries is the only hope - Even if China went carbon negative tomorrow, it still can't outweigh the rest of the world's spewy businesses who would just see it as a carte blanche to make more money.
