Look at it this way. You have a swimming pool in your back yard. Your kid pees in the pool and you are probably still ok to swim in it. If I have entire Chicago beats ream stand around that pool and pee in you probably aren’t going in.
THat being said, transportation accounts for about 30% of the man made part. Going all EV, which might happen around 2050 is only addresses a portion of the problem. No one talks much about the other 70%.

It's not about an inability to grasp anything. It's about a natural and healthy skepticism about the current situation.
It's demonstrably true that our government lies to us. It's demonstrably true that our government has an agenda. It's clear to anyone who's paying attention that there is a ton of taxpayer money being thrown at 'green' projects. For example, the 'green new deal suddenly becomes the 'inflation reduction act'.
I find it hard to grasp how anyone is willing to accept at face value statements made by people who clearly 'have a dog in the fight'.
When someone who has something to gain makes statements that if believed are going to result in them gaining power or earning profits I am going to be extremely skeptical about anything they say on the subject.
When people start screaming about the next ice age, then change their tune and start screaming about global warming, then change their tune again and start screaming about climate change, I'm skeptical.
When people predict the end of the world by a certain date, then when that date passes and they never explain why things are still moving along fine, instead just pushing back the date when the sky will fall, I'm skeptical.
When a person tells me that cold winters mean we're experiencing climate change, and then claim that hot summers mean we're experiencing climate change, fewer storms - climate change, more storms - climate change. I begin to realize that no matter what happens to the weather they're going to claim it's due to climate change.
When people who claim the ice caps are melting and we're soon going to be treading water buy waterfront property, I conclude they're full of what comes out of the south end of a north bound horse.
Just me. I'm not a meteorologist, but I have several degrees, magna cum laude, and I'm pretty well read. I read things from conservative sources AND liberal sources and reach my own conclusions. For doing that I get called all kinds of names and get my intelligence questioned.
Meanwhile Chicken Little keeps screaming while I see a clear blue sky and a shoreline that is exactly where it was back in the sixties.
