"Most people today are living well within the planetary boundaries. It is only a minority of us who have caused this crisis and who keep driving it forward. The widely popular argument that ‘there are too many people’ is a very misleading one. Population does matter, but it is not people who are causing emissions and depleting the Earth, it is what *some* people do. It is some people’s habits and behavior, in combination with our economic structures, that are causing the catastrophe."

Even then it is to late to stop it of course. People had to be alarmed in the nineties, when all facts were already there.
You can also turn it around. Imagine when the World is not alarmed at all about the Coronavirus? They just regard it as an scientific 'opinion', and only after 2040 they will start thinking about doing something about it. Just imagine!
