You make it sound like people are born capitalistic.
Not reading analytically is one example.

Would that involve, essentially, world-wide revolution?

Global warming since 1990 has fallen within the range of IPCC climate model projections
"global climate models generally simulate global temperatures that compare well with observations over climate timescales ... The 1990–2012 data have been shown to be consistent with the [1990 IPCC report] projections, and not consistent with zero trend from 1990 ... the trend in globally-averaged surface temperatures falls within the range of the previous IPCC projections."
What about the Naysayers?
In the weeks and months leading up to the publication of the final 2013 IPCC report, there has been a flood of opinion articles in blogs and the mainstream media claiming that the models used by the IPCC have dramatically over-predicted global warming and thus are a failure. This narrative clearly conflicts with the IPCC model-data comparison figure shown above, so what's going on?
These mistaken climate contrarian articles have all suffered from some combination of the following errors:
1) Publicizing the flawed draft IPCC model-data comparison figure
2) Ignoring the range of model simulations
3) Cherry Picking
But one thing is certain: Several fundamental projections found in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports have consistently underestimated real-world observations, potentially leaving world governments at doubt as to how to guide climate policy.

Even if they did start doing something now, all indications are that we have triggered feedbacks and runaway global warming has been unleashed. Of course your expert insights are appreciated if you disagree with my assessment.
