"Human nature" is a social construct, but that's a discussion that is entirely irrelevant to the OP. So back to the OP, which I am yet to actually comment on... Yes, corporations should be held responsible for their pollution. Many don't seem to realize it, but if we continue at this rate we will only have about a few decades before Earth is no longer able to sustain life. I'm more and more convinced that humanity itself will bring about its own extinction.

More than a few decades, but weather patterns are getting worse. It's a combination of human activity and Earth's natural cycles that are causing it. Try as we might, anything short of completely nuking the planet entirely won't be a world-ending event. While it's possible we could kill off humanity, Earth will survive. It's been through worse extinction events than runaway pollution.
