I agree. Global warming and it's causes were well understood and under discussion in the public domain at least 50 years ago. The oil companies had it all figured out but denied it for years as their profits kept rising. That oil (and gas) continue to be the main source of international instability, leading to death and destruction on a massive scale, is the direct result of human ignorance and stupidity. It seems we will never learn anything.
"It seems we will never learn anything" - You're right: we have not seen any idea of how to recycle solar panels, wings from wind mills, LED-lamps... What will we do with all the lithium when there is a better battery technology based on some other metal that is not so dangerous to extract, and so rare as lithium? Battery technology is developing very fast as I understand it, and China's monopolies on rare earth metals is not pointing towards less conflicts. It seems to me that we are running into the future looking backwards, satisfied to see that we are distancing ourselves to the old problems.
I agree of course that global warming is problem on a new scale, as is the deposit of nuclear waste so far.
Drive around in Texas, Oklahoma, wyoming, Montana, and other petrol states and it is clear from rebranding efforts, oil companies are now Energy Corporations. Guess who is buying up leases and shares in solar and wind technology?

So agree. We never seem to learn.
Propaganda runs rings around the truth
Anybody remember cigarette companies, deny, deny, deny, kill, kill, kill
This is exposed in the book Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes. It is quite a read ... and not only about tobacco
And, greed.
Yup, the big three: Ignorance, stupidity and greed.
... yes, but ... guaranteed business for the health care industry & population control ...?
