I mean... that makes sense to me? they profited so much off oil & gas, why shouldn't they have to sink a bunch of money into undoing those effects? you made billions of dollars pumping CO2 into the air, now spend billions of dollars figuring out how to suck it back out.
literally every time. economists cream their jeans over an economy "growing," when the only thing about it that's actually growing is the bank accounts of the capitalists at the top.
