Disagree. Fossil fuels (among other things) get a "free ride" on their unrecaptured externalities. If they were priced to match the costs of their actual impact, society (as in, "every one of us") would have evolved differently.

The fossil fuel industry had studies which showed what would happen, they knew this decades ago.

Irrelevant -- they had already figured out that they wouldn't have to pay for it, so it simply wasn't important.
