Remember how Soylent Green came out fifty years ago and said "The soil and oceans are being harvested unsustainably and eventually will fail to sustain life, leading to the extermination of human life on this planet?"
If people remember it at all it's to jokingly yell "Soylent Green is people!" or name techbro products after Soylent Green.
(Yes I know it has really bad malthusianism but give it some credit it was like 1970ish. Basically the stone age.)
And a lot of the doomsayers people don't take seriously because they are terrible orators, they are assholes, they are smug and have a sense of superiority, they get it wrong too much. You want people to believe in covid maybe the government shouldn't lie to people, or a better idea, why don't we just censor all information so there can't be dissent! GENIUS!
