Yeah, look, at this point if you're still not convinced as to what the truth is here, you're deliberately pulling the wool over your own eyes, as people will do on this and innumerable other topics.

It's frustrating that as human animals evolution is a slow process and we have outpaced it; tribalistic behaviour ("I'm on the anti-climate change team") and inherent biases ("I don't want to believe something so I'm ten times as likely to accept evidence against it rather than for it") are ingrained. Frankly, tribalism is the biggest threat to the species right now and ironically it likely exists because it was at some point useful from an evolutionary standpoint.

If you showed EE ten of the studies that demonstrated full stop that there is no debate here, out of the thousands of such studies that exist from qualified experts, it would do no good. Evidence simply doesn't work in this circumstance owing to flaws that are simply human nature.

TL;DR: We're screwed. Bring on the philosopher kings.
