"What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity's use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it's not the laws of nature"

But leaving the well-known meatpots creates fear. We all know Moses' troubles to make his people go after he struck the deal with pharaoh - and they didn't even know about the 40 years to come in the desert, while we DO know their fate!
So isn't it natural that people seek ways to carry on as usual, by all means?
I see only 2 options to make people move:
A) extreme personal discomfort / existential threat
B) superior insight plus solidarity
If I could choose, I'd go for B).
