Well I disagree with you vehemently, about 90% of the problems we’re facing is that almost every single problem we’re trying to address were sabotaged by the rich.

Why did they become rich in the first place and why do they not want to give up what they have?

Ape behavior. People in general loathe to give up resources and power once they have it.

We can cooperate and come up with a better future, it is something that we have to make an effort to.

Sure. But I don't think that's going to happen. Climate change is going to make mincement out of most of us before we even begin to scarcely acknowledge the problem.
