You mean like global warming and how the climate change catastrophe we are experiencing has changed human behavior to stop polluting? <sarcastic mode>
I can't imagine that anything will change the minds of the majority of people to the point where they drastically change their lifestyles.
- ASalazarMX 1y agoWell, it's not a catastrophe until it affects you. It needs to severely hit a critical mass of the population in developed countries; and by that time it may be too late. Anything less than critical mass can be swept under the rug by governments until your term is over.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoThis is why we make governments, to solve coordination problems.
