People are naturally averse at recognising issues which require them to take actions that might impact, however slightly, the lifestyle that they have grown used to. They will prefer to dig their head in the sand and keep driving towards much bigger problems rather than take moderately inconvenient action now. This is a behavioural/psychological flaw that prevents necessary action from being taken.
