"It's sort of like global warming -- we know very well that the system is broken, but individually are powerless to change it. Concerted action at the national and international level is required." Unlike global warming I think that some individuals could really make a massive impact in this case. Funnily enough some of those individuals are studying global warming. There are already moves at (larger than individual) levels to get to grips with this issue and I think that most affected parties are more than capable of getting to the knowledge source somehow through alternative means when required. If not, then they are in the wrong game. FFS: Studies that are funded by tax payers or charities or whatever should be freely available.
