Attempt to change the system and see if it's possible.

Anyways I guess you agree it's too late to avert systemic change. To a large extent changes are going to be forced upon us by circumstances. Maybe the real question at this point is who controls, who has power to shape the future? Will society adapt relatively more peacefully, or will it be relatively more brutal? Will the future be relatively more democratic and free, or less so?

We should work for a relatively smooth transition to a sustainable, free and democratic society. People who profit from fossil fuels are rat bastards. That's a slogan, not really a systemic analysis. It recognizes the role played by the powerful elite groups who benefit from our current forms of energy and social organization. We should push them out of the way right now so we can create the kind of changes we want.
