All these things can be true at the same time:

- fossil fuels have provided huge benefits

- the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere is causing gradually increasing problems that will eventually become severe in some places

- a lot of people made a lot of money along the way

- at some point, some people chose to lie about the problems

- lying about the problems is morally wrong

- the transition off fossil fuels will be expensive

- that is not a sufficient reason not to do it
