There is no centralized way to drive that change on the needed scale. Most humans don’t even view what we’re doing in civilization as shared project, let alone agree that this is required to protect it. I think they fundamentally lack the abstract thinking required. They won’t change until they feel the pain themselves. A poor fit for an abstract, not quite “here yet” problem. In the United States we can’t even get them to agree it’s a problem at all. But I think once we are collectively feeling the pain, solutions will be swift and surprising.
