Unfortunately, as you can imagine, I don't have an answer. I'm actually quite afraid that there's no answer and that we as a species aren't capable of large scale rational and compassionate cooperation.
The global warming catastrophe won't wait for us. I'm quite afraid that my life won't end nicely. I don't expect to have a long and peaceful retirement.

Ironically enough, the closest thing we get to 'large-scale (even world-scale) rational and compassionate cooperation' is the very "industrial society" mentioned in the OP. You may not like industrial and post-industrial society, but it's not clear that there's any alternative if you want "everyone" to be involved.
