    It's hard to get humans to agree to things that are in their collective interest but many not be in their individual interest. It is at the root of many problems. Look up "collective action problem."

      What do you think it might take to precipitate collective action in this case?

        An event that suddenly has a large negative impact on a big enough group of people.

        Nothing. It's the same as global warming. We'll take down civilization or kill off humanity before we take collective action.
