Shutting down life as we know it is not a realistic solution, no matter how much you whine about it. Everything except subsistence farming now requires fossil fuels. It is not strategically possible for everyone to go back to that without massive depopulation. If the elites really believed this was necessary to save the planet, they would murder most of the world's population. I can't say that isn't in the cards, but it isn't obviously happening. You should be glad that people with more information and power than us do not believe the worst-case scenario crap they push on the masses.
