Al Bartlett - Arithmetic, Population and Energy
Amazing how again & again, even so-called 'experts' can't do math, or ignore fundamental physics constraints. Never mind news outlets or the general public.
And... most people don't understand exponential growth.
Which brings me to b) math + physics is much much much much more reliable than people.
So if you understand the physics involved, do the math, conclude that it can't possibly work, but someone (expert or otherwise) says it will work: go with your calculator. :-)
