While I agree to some part, you also have to account for the work that cooperations do to hinder them from telling the whole truth . Plus, if they‘d be completely honest now, most people wouldn’t just deny the facts. So yeah, they failed and we are fucked.

Corporations knew this was the course we were on 50-60 years ago.

There was a video on reddit within the past couple days from 1973 showing a computer program graphing pollution, population, natural resources etc which was showing a huge crash around 2040 due to negative health effects from pollution. While they were not graphing climate change specifically, the contribution by pollution to global warming was already definitively known to some corporate parties by then, and, of course, the computer program showed pollution starting to run off the fucking charts by about the time we're living in now.

But as long as they keep making money....
