Regardless of the topic - I'm always shocked that adult people are capable of this degree of self-rationalization.

"57 experts who spent their whole lives studying this say it is possible, but I knew in 0.5 seconds that they were all wrong...."

Well, that's because they're wrong. Can't end fossil fuels and be at 100% electric cars in 10 years. If you think we can, you're not that smart. 57 "experts" were partisan hacks jumping on board with the impossible, because either... A. They had painted themselves into a corner with previous statements or support given. B. They were okay with supporting "impossible"... for the "greater good". C. (most likely) They had something to gain by supporting such nonsense. Use your head.
