Of course it is.

The populace owns shares in, and buys products from, companies which are producing greenhouse gasses.

The populace elects representatives to regulate those companies.

The wealthiest 10% owns 90% of all stocks. And realistically, how many people can actually track the supply chain of every product they buy to try to only buy from ethical companies? How many truly plastic free options even are there for basic things like bread, toothbrushes/toothpaste, or soap?

You don't need to track the entire supply chain of every product.

Then how are you supposed to know which companies produce how much greenhouse gasses?
