I'm afraid it's like waiting to win the lottery instead of planning for retirement - a really bad idea. Deserts and oceans may be all that's left to our great-grandchildren. Changes in weather patterns are already changing our coastlines and inland basins. what will it take? 60 to 80 feet of sea water?
The complete collapse of agriculture in the "breadbasket" regions will be a wakeup call. All it takes is one of the rather frequent "storms of the century" to wipe out wheat and corn crops in the U.S. and Canada and we will see the prices of staple foods jump. With a dollar sign attached, people may take notice... not that we haven't passed the point where we can do much more than slow down the rate of change.
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
