I get that fossil fuel burning generates more energy but there are wild fire breakouts due to scorching temps in southern Europe (and the rest) …whats the big deal breaker stopping us from harnessing the climate energy increase we cause and long term view of reducing emissions.. which in turn reduces the energy we can harness from our climate.

Burning fossil fuel doesn’t “create” energy. It takes energy from the Sun that was captured long ago as chemicals and releases it in the present.
You can harness that climate energy with wind farms or tidal power stations, warming the planet makes winds higher and wind farms more efficient.
You could harness the heat flow from the hotter atmosphere to a cooler something, if you had a cooler something with the mass of the atmosphere. Alas, we don’t have something like that.
