George Monbiot has written a longish article which includes the success, failures, and the machiavellian underhanded responses from the fossil fuel support lobbies. He mentions the need for a short narrative to explain where we are - here is his:
“The world has been thrown into climate chaos, caused by fossil fuel companies, the billionaires who profit from them, and the politicians they have bought. But we, the young heroes, will confront these oligarchs, using our moral authority to create a movement so big and politically dangerous that our governments are forced to shut down the fossil economy and restore the benign conditions in which humans and other species can thrive.” Monbiot, First Strike.
Here is mine: The world has been organized by the need for humans to create societies for support.  It is the nurturing society that honours life.  But the need for sustenance has been corrupted by egos that seek to control and dominate and they are capable of great cruelty in order to maintain power over the masses.  We must interrogate and observe how they do this in order to rise above the structural violence inflicted upon the sentient beings we share this planet with. We need the power of our best selves to guide our selves and our beloved community.
What is yours?
