I’m sorry. I’m not able to cut out a portion of my brain to understand how you’re missing this.
There was a TON of media geared towards kids in the 1980s that educated us about global warming, environmentalism, the health of the air, sea, and land, pollution, toxicity, nuclear radiation, deforestation, threats of animal extinction, etc. Off the top of my head, GI Joe and Super Friends and Captain Planet in particular were overwhelming with this sort of education (pretty sure Transformers and M.a.s.k. were too).
I don’t know how anyone growing up between 1970 and 2000 could have missed this. If you don’t recall, that’s totally fine. But you can’t argue that it didn’t exist when I’m showing you evidence to the contrary.
environmentalism yes. Global warming no. As I stated at the start of the 90’s it was the rare person who knew about and grasped co2 concentrations and global warming effects but by the end it would not take a whole lot of effort to know about it. There is a reason an inconvenient truth was a thing in 2006. It was still not that widespread in the early 2000’s. Thats why he was doing those talks that got captured in the movie. One of my things about global warming is many folks seem to see it as something that if we can solve would take the threat away but of course that would not alleviate any of the other environmental damage we are doing.

Ok. We’re evidently not from the same region and/or generation. The experience around me was starkly the opposite.
