It always makes me laugh when some pin head declares that 120 years of manipulated data (out of 4.5 billion years of the earth's existence ), is all they need to prove that we are going to die because the earth is too fragile to survive a .5 degree rise in temperature.
This article proves that going back 2000 years to the Roman Empire, we are in a cooling pattern.

Yes, one of my physics professors way back when admonished us young skulls full of mush with TINSTAAFL, There is no such thing as a free lunch. And for those who don’t get it, BOHICA, Bend over, here it comes again.

Yes the climate is changing!
It aways has.
Now what does the Marxist New York Times think you should do
about this non-crisis crisis?
All you have to do is allow them to create a one world
tyrannical, unelected, unaccountable government wherein
your are a subservient slave to them and they will save you.

OK. We'll just put small wind turbines on the backs of all vehicles. That will generate enough electricity to offset the loss to the soft road and roadside wind turbines.

...and the 13 warmest years for the entire planet have all occurred since 1998, according to data that stretches back to 1880. The mind boggles that the author actually wrote this.

I can see the lawsuits now from people who crack up their cars watching the pretty psychedelic designs, or the ones who have seizuresNah. These roads will not only generate power, they will use some of that energy to power the cars via electro-magnetic induction. The cars will also be on AUTODRIVE with a GPS linked computer which (by law) does all driving on highways.
Everyone will be free to gawk at the passing scenery.
and there will be flying cars too, and unicorns, and... life will be found on the moon.

"What most dont understand about solar or wind derived energy is that there is no free lunch..." EGGSactly Batman. I just watched an eye opening documentary called: Windfall.
It was a shocker. Touched on all sorts of issues involving wind power that I never even considered.

It's one of the reasons for a barf alert. There were others.
