Naomi Klein [ connects global heating to the plutocratic system ]( http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/14/naomi-klein-interview-capitalism-vs-the-climate ) that has subjugated democracy. Klein is right that reducing your personal energy consumption is not an effective action. Under a market system, the fossil fuel you don't use will be sold to someone else. The way to reduce the total use of fossil fuel is by macro-policies such as placing more tax on such use. The let's-win-over-the-billionaires environmentalism that Klein shows is ineffective is the climate analogue of "open source," which says, "Let's win over the businesses by not saying things they wouldn't like."
