Capitalism

You could have a non-capitalist society burning fossil fuels in the same way, and it would have the same consequences.

Probably, but probably there wouldn't be a push for keeping things as they are. No wait! Let's burn even more carbon

Maybe, maybe not. You get what you measure. Bad incentives are a major contributor to the corruption that ultimately led to the downfall of the USSR.

Good policy and incentives make the difference. Capitalism and communism aren't all that different. In practice, they are still largely hierarchical with a few controlling things.
