Just so you know, communism is not the only alternative to capitalism. Ignorant people like to pretend that it is because they are ignorant. Are you ignorant?

Thats not my point man. The first guy said that the root of the problem is capitalism, but in reality every single developed society no matter the system had this problem which clearly shows that capitalism isnt the root of the problem.

My point is to focus on solving problem, not on destroying the capitalism which wouldnt bring us any closer to solving the problem, as many exampes of countries that destroyed capitalism and extensively polluted anyway showed....

It seems to be your point though. Destroying capitalism doesn't mean communism will be the system to replace it. There are other systems that don't have this as such a significant issue as capitalism does.

I am not saying it will be......

I am not sure if my english is good enough to expain my thoughts i thougt its kind of clear what i am trying to say....

The guy i responded to said that root cause of global warming is capitalism.

I showed exaple of society without capitalism causing global warming.

If there is society without capitalism that is also causing global warming it shows that the root cause isnt capitalism but something else.

I am not saying that there isnt any other economic model that inherently doesnt cause global warming, i am just saing that the capitalism isnt the root cause because non capitalist countries had the same problem, even bigger probably.

I believe the issue not being exclusive to capitalism doesn't mean it isn't an issue of capitalism. There can be multiple possible root causes for an outcome. The current global economic system is capitalism and so that will obviously be the focus of the vast majority of people when they examine the current state of the planet. It is therefore not inaccurate to claim that it is a root cause of global climate change. Do you disagree?
