The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.

Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.

An economic system that has led to a society that is actively hostile to the idea of affordable living for a single adult never mind a family with multiple children.

An unaddressed history of active misogyny towards women. (this is present in every single one of these countries)

A victim of sexual abuse at the notorious Kincora Boys' Home is to receive a £100,000 payout, it was announced in the High Court on Tuesday. The settlement reached in Richard Kerr's civil action also involved police and two Stormont departments expressing "deep regret" about his childhood exploitation. Kerr, 64, sued over claims he was trafficked and abused while a resident at the home in east Belfast and other institutions during the 1960s and 1970s. A paedophile ring subjected him to years of rape and molestation in a campaign covered up by the British state, it was alleged. Damages were sought against the Department of Health (DoH), the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the secretary of state for the Home Department. The lawsuit involved claims for assault and battery, misfeasance in public office, breach of statutory duty and negligence. In court on Tuesday, counsel for Kerr, Monye Anyadike-Danes KC, confirmed that action has been resolved. The defendants, who deny liability, are to pay him £100,000 plus costs in a final settlement of all claims against them.

For context, Richard Kerr has named his abusers at Kincora as Lord Mountbatten (who has been alleged as one of the Kincora rapists since 1990):

In an interview with survivor Richard Kerr, Kerr divulges that he was sometimes brought to hotels or the homes of men, where he was subsequently abused, making Kincora not just a site of abuse but a centre for child trafficking. One instance detailed by Kerr involved him and another Kincora resident, Stephen Waring, being abused by Lord Mountbatten at his Sligo residence. (source)

The sexual abuse at Kincora and in the case of Cyril Smith (who had 29 people come forward alleging he abused them) have both been repeated linked to MI5 choosing to cover up both offenses. In Kincora's case, an army intelligence officer was told to stop investigating abuse at Kincora in 1975-6, two years before Kerr and two other boys were trafficked there. Kincora was also excluded from the historical sexual abuse inquiry under Theresa May, to which Amnesty International responded at the time:
