It's not as simple as stupid group of people does bad things. There is a clear and powerful monetary motivation to harm the environment and the people responsible are well aware of what they are doing. They simply do not care.

The climate deniers are not the problem and it isn't every individuals responsibility to dramatically alter their lives and consumption for the smallest effect on our environment. Your average climate denier denier does not make this better obviously but they are a victim of an intentionally deceitful propaganda campaign

they disproportionately spew carbon into the atmosphere intentionally subverting their vehicle's emission reduction technology purposely for the ability to offend the libs.

I agree with your premise, but think it's in addition to the principles I suggested, not instead.
