The problem with most scientists is that they don't understand how most of our civilization functions: to serve a tiny class of capitalists under their system of capitalism. They don't understand this because they have been intentionally indoctrinated all of their lives in the virtues of this system. They have been lied to as well as the vast majority of climate activists as this account entitled "The fallacy of climate activism" written in over a decade ago attests. The author of the latter article at least was able to understand that "The answers lie not with science, but with culture." But this is answer is mind-boggling broad.
The answer is quite simple, but at the same time, overwhelming: the system of capitalism, and those who benefit from it because they as capitalist ruling classes are in control of most of our very dominant cultures. These ruling classes face two choices: 1) they must
destroy the system that delivers to them so much wealth and power or
2) continue with business as usual, remain in denial or try to control or co-opt the climate change movement to serve business as usual (profits and power). Which do you think they will choose? So, what is to be done?
