Not sure that we can blame the eggheads for this one. The "Limits to Growth" report was published in 1972. I remember people talking about it in my teens (80s).

At some point, everyone has to take their individual responsibility and accept that the scientific community did it's job, and that it's not their job to make society move. That's on all of us. Moreover, it sure does seem like we have passed a tipping point. Whether it is the tipping point remains to be seen. From a societal point of view, I think it is not a good idea to communicate "we're too late to fix anything" as it seems clear that this will lead to a total abandonment of any effort. The best moment to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second-best moment is "now". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth
