I think a lot of people including NYT & WaPo staff don't understand that economic prosperity and environmental sustainability are mutually exclusive. In fact most, if not all politicians and business people suffer the same lack of understanding.

That view send to be shared by 16 Nobel laureates of economics and other 2600 economists signing the Economist statement on climate change in 1997 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economists%27_Statement_on_C...). Calling your difference in opinion a "lack of understanding" seems a bit inappropriate.
97 is ancient history in climate modelling
Is it? Models going back decades are pretty darn correct from what I’ve read

You are missing to make a point. Time could work either way.

Have you want evidence, that their opinion changed to the contrary?
