"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
Propaganda, indoctrination, and de-education, especially when applied over generations, are a hell of a force.
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.
I mean... people have been calling the apocalypse since ancient times. Because that's reality. Every civilization falls, every society fails, and it's often via war and violence. We simply have been able to become more connected and harm each other on larger scales over time.
And when exactly did humanity ever had the power to destroy the planet prior to the industrial revolution?
You're just repeating one of the usual shit arguments climate deniers are spouting daily.
We still don't have the ability to destroy the planet. We just will make it uninhabitable for the number of humans that are currently here, which has happened quite a lot in human history.
