Pollution wash
On December 6, 1988, the United Nations published the resolution 43/53: "Protection of global climate for present and future generations of mankind". It acknowledge for the first time, officially, the existence of human-induced climate change. This gave birth to the establishment of the IPCC.
.
Since then, greenhouse gas emissions have skyrocketed. Massive corporations & Governments have focused their efforts in dramatizing how litter and other forms of pollution are hurting the environment, and how every individual has the responsibility to help protect it. Rather than holding themselves accountable. These major oil, gas, and coal companies repeatedly fought efforts to move our countries away from fossil fuels. They slowed progress on the transition to green energies. And intentionally continued to spread disinformation, deception and harm.
