This is something I've wondered about, too.
Will people rightly realise "we all did this to the world"?
Sadly history would tell us that most of the folks already resident in those parts of the world furthest from the equator will just complain about and intimidate what they see as "filthy immigrants" trying to steal their country.
Realistically, we need to fundamentally change how the educational system works from the age of about four years old to tackle the worst of our problems. Guiding children to value science above things like celebrity/entertainment/money at a young age would help them understand how things have gotten to the stage they have and likely go a long way to helping us turn this around.
I don't want to say that people have gotten steadily less intelligent over time, but I see very little interest left in objective truth among the public at large.
Science, being at it's core the pursuit of objective, provable truth, would correlate with us advancing as a species. Not to go nauseatingly Will McAvoy, but we did used to revere intelligence and the advancement of our understanding - at least as I remember it.
