CMV: There is no viable free market solution to climate change

According to the most recent reports we're already in a climate crisis. People are already protesting enmasse for drastic changes. The free market is not a system that handles drastic change well. If there is drastic change that fundamentally, and systematically shuts down certain types of businesses, and revenue streams the markets tend to go into free fall and crash. Still, we do need to change our ways in a fundamental and systemic way. So I don’t think there is a way you can come up with a free market solution that would adequately address the problem and still have a fully functioning free market.  I am open to ideas and would like to hear what you think.

Slavery used to be legal and commercially viable.  The abolition of slavery was disastrous for the legal slaving industry; good riddance.  The markets continued to function.  The markets are not only capable of handling change, the markets enable change.  The capital market is the tool we use to funnel capital to productive uses society wants.  If society decides it wants to stop using hydrocarbons and start using nuclear energy instead, the markets may be used to facilitate that change.
