It is very profitable to be proactive. The climate crisis will cost trillions of dollars to "repair" and deal with. Taking the right steps at the right time is way cheaper. We really are too stupid as a species and it'll be our downfall.

Yes but corporations won’t pay for that, governments will. If a company could make a buck off of preventative measures, they’d be all over it.
