People will always seek to make money from a perceived opportunity. Whether the opportunity is the climate changing or people mistakenly afraid that the climate is changing does not in any way change whether or not the climate is actually changing. In other words, an increase in umbrella salesmen does not any any way prevent the sky from falling. Frankly, I don't know if global warming is true. Having examined some of the claims and by using my own intuition, I think it probably is. But its validity shouldn't matter to you if you truly care about the problems you listed. For example, let's look at two of the other problems you listed that we are supposedly currently ignoring: pollution and resource depletion. Both of those problems are usually tied to the burning of fossil fuels, which just so happens to be the suggested cause of global warming. The suggested fix of global warming is typically burning less fossil fuels, which would in turn reduce pollution and lower our resource consumption. If you truly feel that those problems are what we should be focusing on, you should encourage people to believe global warming is a problem that needs fixed as it would further your goals. Personally, I don't care if somebody makes a mint off solar power. I'd rather have money go that direction than the oil conglomerate. Even if both groups were equally "evil", I'd still vote for solar because I believe it's better for the ecosystem.
