Every fucking climate scientist on the planet was getting it right since the 60s. This idea that climate change was only mainstream science after 2005 or whatever is nonsense.

Very true, though mainly the point I was highlighting in the video was the land use of large highways, and emphasis on cycling over cars.

Much like tobacco and sugar, the producers KNEW the consequences long before the general public, and worked against the public's comprehension. Not nothing; we've been doing propaganda!
