i think it has to do with the nature of leadership, and the fear that it would undermine their authority in some way
here in the US, the green movement is getting larger by the day, and even forming alliances between leaders of both the religious community and the scientific community, and it shows much promise with some pastors believing that humanity is causing global warming and not by divine power (certain scripture has been interpreted as humanity are the ones to maintain and preserve the environment for god), but members of the republican party who are in deep with more fundamentalist sects of the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition are trying to rebuke those findings cause by their words it's god's will that the earth is in the state that it is in, and any deviation to that is harmful to their hold on their congregations
the thing is that there is a constant struggle, and the reason that many of those good ideas go unfulfilled is because certain people with power don't want it, so it happens by election or by force, change comes with time, only about 150 years ago, Blacks taken from their homeland by force were still slaves, 50 years ago they hadn't truly gained acceptance as segregation had been forced onto them, now, one of the front runners in the presidential race is a Black Man, says a lot that he can even be considered a potential world leader from where the US has been, the campaign trail will show both sides of love and hate over the next year, and hopefully in 50 years, the last remnants of hatred can be eroded
