Oh I totally agree with you, but

a matter of seizing power from those who profit from the current system of extraction and burning.

This is the problem. To say this wouldn't be easy is a huge, gargantuan understatement.

The power and control is so far reaching and deep into the foundation of our society, I can't help being cynical. By using politics and propaganda techniques huge portions of the population have been convinced that global warming either isn't real, isn't important, or is actually a good thing. And this is only one hurdle to overcome along with many others.

The question is how do we seize power back.
