Personally, I believe it's possible for an individual's outlook to change radically, sometimes within a short time frame even instantly due to extreme circumstances. So I wonder if the global climate crisis that's unfolding could provide a similar catalyst on a collective level here. That's what I"m rooting for.
However, in his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote: "Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups tend to be more immoral than individuals."
I'm not going to argue with King or Niebuhr. But I hope that certain "groups"that is, the other nations of the world prove to be exceptions to the rule.
