To summarize, you are asking for a hero to come and to save us all with the power of meritocracy. This hero of yours is a PhD executive (from a top university) with access to venture capital and will lead other eminent people to produce world changing green technologies. The stock market will be the bar for which this hero is selected.

Companies that exploit the environment already have PhD executive types (from great schools) with great track records and amazing access to capital already. That is part of the problem. These eminent people have already decided that their personal wealth now is worth destroying our future.

These geniuses have already found a solution: rampant hedonism. Squeeze out every moment of pleasure while you still can and when time is up, jet over to New Zealand and hunker down while the world is engulfed in flames.
