    “we”

    You mean the rich and powerful who could’ve solved the systemic environmental issues didn’t, who got it told directly all the time. Who could’ve done something against Exxon and the others. Don’t lump the masses together with such assholes.

      There /is/ a large portion of the masses who are perfectly aligned with the goals of the rich and powerful and are happy to shit on their own doorstep for even a moment’s convenience

      I mean ‘we’ as everyone collectively, as society. It’s just manner of speaking. I wasn’t even alive for most of the time frame mentioned, so I’m perfectly aware not everyone was actually able to ‘listen’ to the warnings.
