There's too much momentum propelling all of this bullshit forward. There would have to be a significant countervailing social force for human society to move in a different direction. The forces of the state and capital have done a good deal of greenwashing in the last decade, which has fooled a lot of people. Those who are really paying attention can see what a joke that is. What that tells us is that there are enough people concerned that they feel they must pretend to do something about ecological issues, but the majority of people who are vaguely aware something is wrong, and have the power to move society in the right direction are too coddled or distracted to really force the issue.
