The "believers" are the minority, in fact, sadly to say. Most people either don't care or will actively resist giving up things that need to be given up, like private automobiles and CAFO meat every day. Certainly the corporations are not going to stop Big Oil - they benefit far too much. Since there has never been consensus, the "believers" never had a chance, really. Attempts to change the consensus have failed - until it's too late to fix it. I've been advising people to adapt in place or move if they can, because of the failure of consensus to adapt to the new circumstances.
