Despite all the warnings of global warming and imminent disaster, it is unlikely that we will change our ways until a real catastrophe actually occurs.
Having worked with emergency managers of many stripes for several years I can say this with assurance:
Practically no one wants to spend one erg of energy trying to NOT have something happen.
Reacting, we can do that! (Fukushima anyone?)
Proactive? Not so much!
I can say this however. For Y2K we definitely saw a cliff and avoided disaster. Humanity world wide responded and there was little public interruption overall thanks to the $500,000,000,000 (that's .5 trillion USD) spent updating computer programs. So we "can" get our stuff together when we are motivated.
But I don't see a 'social movement' that is sensibly and morally and committed to "anti-pregnancy" forming anytime soon.
