Okay, so I agree with many leftist critiques of capitalism, but we can also tell that communism also caused environmental destruction, particularly in the soviet block. Mixed economies are not doing that much better - see the Norwegian sovereign fund as but one example. Further, I'd argue that the opposite of a weak state is a totalitarian one, not a socialist one.
And I'm arguing that the problem is you need over 200 governments to agree on both it and its enforcement, and that the wealth disparity between countries in and of itself will cause game theory issues for these sorts of agreements to break down, even if each government was enlightened socialist.
Capitalism is making it worse, to be sure, but socialism is not a solution here in and of itself.
