Yes it will. A little at a time, maybe VERY little at a time. But it will only happen if people keep up the pressure.
You cannot stop change. Even in the face of enormous obstacles. Some extreme examples: The fall of the Soviet Union. The unfolding events in Iran. These things start with murmurs and whispers, then a few become more vocal, then a critical mass is reached. The environmental murmurs and whispers began with Rachel Carlson or before. IMO we are an the cusp of reaching critical mass on a lot of issues that result from overpopulation. Unfortunately, we'll deal with the effects of overpopulation and not the root cause. Even more unfortunate is that if our efforts are ineffective, the root cause will take care of itself in an ugly and disruptive manner.
