There’s a big tradition on the left dating back at least to Naomi Klein’s “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs, the Climate” of insisting that building a zero-carbon future requires the adoption of radical anti-capitalist politics.

As long as capitalism is the guiding light of society, it's probably absurd to think a solution is possible. The capitalists control the politicians, and the voting populace underestimates the degree to which they can be manipulated.
