The big reality is that the conflict is between hydrocarbon burning for energy, and manufacture of plastics, against a sustainable world. Half the hydrocarbon energy came in the last 30 years. A dire future is much closer than that, unless the investment is directed away from coal, oil and gas. The surface destruction and warming climate assure a world that wont sustain us all.
