About a decade ago I saw someone, it might have been Hank Green or someone in his genre, talk about how Captain Planet was counterproductive, treating the executives of energy companies etc. as inhuman monsters bent on destruction for the fun of it rather than people trying to do the difficult job of meeting the ever-increasing demand from the public at large for energy, food and material goods.
Turns out they're inhuman monsters bent on destruction for the fun of it.
More than struggling to meet energy demands, they were pressed on figuring out how they could squeeze more and more money out of everyone before the society melted away under the very preventable flame of climate change. And they buried climate research to ensure they had as long as they could to squeeze.
