.....wait, we've known this for 20 years

It seems to take about 50 years of headlines (2 generations) for environmental concerns to get through to the public enough to make an impact. This is actually a really underappreciated thing. What's the next environmental catastrophe in 50 years? (optimistically assuming we somehow start acting on and survive the current global warming disaster that was discovered in 70sa/80s)
Wait till you read about carbon dioxide!
