The corporations are emitting to supply consumers because emitting is often a cheaper way to supply consumers.
The solution isn't to not supply consumers, it is to supply them in a more sustainable way.
In some cases this may not be possible, but in many cases it is. We shouldn't push to destroy our quality of life, we should push to make it sustainable.
This can only happen through regulation, because as a consumer, you can't really choose to pay 10% more to get e.g. a laptop where the aluminium was smelted using renewable energy.
