No it wouldn't. Corpos would just put in more effort to hide the damage. Climate change can't be stopped by individual consumers because they have no means to verify whether a product they want to buy hurts the environment.

There are products which you can guarantee have a major negative effect on the environment yet people still purchase them. This is exactly the same as people buying games and products with ads baked in.
