The first thing to come to mind is climate change in the form of ice<br>
ages. My impression is that such changes involved massive die offs,<br>
until only those following new ways survived. The old ways which had<br>
been proven to succeed were now failing.<br>
<br>
An interesting way to trick our conservative sense might involve the<br>
media. Since people hear news reports from a much wider area now,<br>
they believe that events that are reported (like crime) are becoming<br>
more prevalent, when the actual trend is the reverse. Perhaps media<br>
reports of impending climactic disaster will convince people that the<br>
old ways are leading to our doom, and we should try new ways. It<br>
actually feels as if there are people trying this, but the conservatives<br>
are still not budging. I'm not sure I like the idea of even more<br>
biased news reporting, though.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>### Wait, anthropogenic climate change killing humanity through an ice age, not through global warming? Did I understand you correctly?</div><div><br></div><div>
