Unfortunately, this isn't going to change. We're too greedy and shortsighted as a race to do anything preventive about problems like fisheries collapse and climate change. We're going to noodle about, pass resolutions, enact toothless laws and practice business as usual until millions of people die. Then we might actually take urgent action such as global birth control, suspension of non-subsistence fishing, massive reforestation and solar power on an unprecedented scale.
We're a crisis-driven species. Sad but true. Now get used to eating tofu shaped like salmon.
