No one can stop them, because the food supply of our technological civilization is fossil energy. We recently read that settlers in the Jamestown colony resorted to cannibalism during one particularly hard winter. When food runs out, it seems that humans will do ANYTHING in order to eat.

Our civilization works exactly the same way with oil and gas: even though extraction techniques such as fracking amount to cannibalization of our planet, they will continue.

Humankind is in a horrible quandary. We cannot afford to continue going forward as we have been, nor can we imagine any way to turn back.
