Yes Carl, that's what I meant. But I don't think it'll come from the people, because the majority of the Earth's population still have much more pressing worries than climate change and ecological destruction. They are trying to feed themselves and their families. It is only us fortunate enough to live in a wealthy democratic society with our comfortable lifestyles that are in a position to even consider these matters. Only when it becomes obvious to nearly everyone in the world, and when it literally affects us all, will we see a change. But by then it will most likely be too late, and therefore I think it'll get a lot worse before technology enables us to ultimately improve the situation maybe 100-200 years from now.
