The huge problem is that this train is already on the tracks and gathering speed. To brake it without any collateral damage would require the equivalent of dozens of Manhattan Projects. As usual the politicians are way behind and many still in denial.
I suspect this train will leave the tracks.
An Einstein quote provides a poor analogy but gives some idea of a possible future:

'I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.'
