Feel free to demonstrate otherwise. So far, I count two denying that
and what appears to be significant opposition to the proposal at
large. I don't see any value in engaging in any discussion arguing for
or against any language around 2050, rather it would be more effective
to find more appropriate language reconciling the issue to move the
concept forward. Feel free to make a suggestion.
