Ok, I actually accept the fact climate change is real. In fact, best guess estimates coming from "my" researchers, god forbid, are predicting a 7 degree F rise by 2100, something rather bigly but I'll be dead so screw it. Let the world burn while I make money, right?
To whit.
The study predicts a rise in global temperatures of about four degrees Celsius, or seven degrees Fahrenheit, by the year 2100. Worse, it asserts global warming is such an inevitable reality, there’s no point in reducing auto emissions, as we’re screwed anyway.
“The emissions reductions necessary to keep global emissions within this carbon budget could not be achieved solely with drastic reductions in emissions from the U.S. passenger car and light truck vehicle fleet,” is how the report put it.
To make a real difference, it adds we’d have to “move away from the use of fossil fuels,” which is “not currently technologically feasible or economically practicable.”
In other words, don't move toward profitable and sustainable tech, just let the planet cook and lose money for the US because I won't be around to suffer the consequences, right?
