the argument is, “look, we’re going off the cliff anyway, 
and car emissions don’t make that much of a difference. 
so who cares?”
their estimate was that by the end of this century, 
global temperatures will have risen 4 degrees centigrade. 
that’s way beyond what the scientific consensus says will make life unlivable. so, what they’re saying is, “we’re finished, it’s all done anyhow, by the end of the century, 
everything will be destroyed. so why stop driving?” 
can you think of anything like this in human history, ever? 
hitler wasn’t saying, “let’s destroy the world.”
