Batman and Robin, how times have changed

I'm watching Batman and Robin (George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the scene where Poison Ivy confronts Bruce Wayne about stopping pollution and hurting the environment just showed.

Wow, how times have changed.

Poison Ivy tells him to stop all fossil fuels and Bruce tells her that people wouldn't be able to heat their homes or keep their food cold. He ends the discussion by saying "people come first."

Poison Ivy is portrayed as a lunatic for having this ideal but she would barely be fringe by today's standards.

Side note, it's so wierd to remember that George Clooney once defended fossil fuels. (Even if it was as a fictional character)
