"Profits" ordinarily mean "the difference between earnings and costs".
I do not see how this margin would be reduced by a compulsory plan,
say, to reduce CO2 emissions everywhere.

What would be reduced by a global enforcement of such a plan is the
total amount of resources available to "mankind" to pursue other goals
and/or to limit other risks.
