Yeah, that's what I'm really afraid off. By the time the shit hits the fan, everyone will be so desperate, they will try everything.

I'm pretty sure that kind of techo-utopian fantasy is part of the reason why people are so reluctant to face the problem we have. To think that there will be some Deus Ex Machina that saves us all, without us having to actually do the hards things is just too tempting.
