I doubt there is much of a discussion to be had here, but at least you could try to get easily verifiable dates right.

Global cooling: 1970s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

Ozone layer depletion: succesfully mitigated starting in the 1980s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_for_the_Pr...

Anthropogenic global warming: scientific consensus since around 1990 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_First_Assessment_Report

For reference, it's the year 2023 now.

Don't really care. Basically the same old tricks with new faces. Even worse when you try to use the word "consensus" when it was everything except that.

End result for europeans is paying more taxes while other places keep doing far worse. I'll be damned to yet see any of those groups advocating for more nuclear power around here to save the environment.

Sure this isn't binary and plenty has improved in regards to ecology when you want to nitpick on reddit-style, what truly bothers me is the sheer percentage of green washing instead of focus on real improvement.
