Hmmm. Could they not in theory reduce their co2 levels so their planet can radiate the heat more and more into outer space?

In theory, yes. In practice, no.

Firstly, Reducing CO2 levels requires a small amount of sacrifice and minor inconveniences; both of which, while they can be overcome with relative ease are too much to ask.

Secondly, it would also reduce, and possibly redistribute, the net worth of people who have more than enough for multiple lifetimes, and that just wouldn't be right.

So as you can see, there really isn't anything that can be done.
