Right now climate situation is not scary enough even for activists in the area -- they spend their time mixing in unrelated social justice issues and protesting nuclear plants. Such frivolous notions will fall off once it becomes clear we actually need to solve concrete problems or die trying. It is possible for destruction to happen just fast enough for everybody to finally take notice, but not fast enough to preclude geoengineering solutions for good. That's one possible (if not pretty) path to get to a technologically mature stage. The risk is always that we wake up already in a boiling frog state, or that even when dangers become self-evident for everybody, we still spend time on power games instead of fixing the problems. In that case, well, we kinda deserve it...
