You'll have to backup your claims that we "let" a million people die of malaria because we didn't want to put a proven cancer agent into our food supply.
You'll have to prove that there were scientists that said we would have 0 fish in the ocean within a decade some 35 years ago. And show us how that was the "prevailing" wisdom.
I'd really like to see your data that says we had 10 minutes to fix global warming that was stated publicly some 20 years ago.
Your only real argument is the flat earth belief, held centuries ago, when the prevailing wisdom did not yet have the ability to see or measure otherwise. How quickly that changed though once science and math began to do their thing and change the prevailing wisdom.
That's called advancement in human knowledge.
It seems to me that the prevailing wisdom today is right or wrong, it just makes more sense for us not to introduce more carbon emissions, more plastic and rely less on carbon fuels and more on renewable energy, than to ignore the possibility altogether that the scientific majority across the globe might be right.
Because if you wait long enough just to see them proven wrong, then, it's too late for those still around.
