I think people are making way too much out of that story.  If you're concerned about keeping the Volt in electric mode, there's an easy solution.  Don't drive over 70 mph!  There's already one disincentive - in most...

Indeed, there are plenty of electric cars available for under $100k, although not many highway speed EVs.  The LEAF and Volt aren't yet available, but will be in a few months.  So will the CODA.  Then of course there's...

I think both will be successful.  The Prius has done quite well despite being the first hybrid, so I don't see why the first plug-in hybrid and EV from a big automaker wouldn't also be popular.  When you take the tax credit...

Nice, I like it.  It's particularly important that we put pressure on politicians who need to vote yes on climate legislation, which includes moderate Republicans and every Democrat.

Yeah I think it's a bit of "I bet you think you're better than me" complex, because vegetarianism is generally about giving something up for moral reasons.  And then there's a lot of PETA basically trying to guilt people into...

Yeah, Yahoo Green was publishing Eco Huddle articles pretty frequently before the switch to Green Options.  Not sure what happened with that.

Okay, I'll try to reword it.   It might be worth clarifying that 3°C is the short-term climate sensitivity, which would address your first point.  I suppose it's possible that Hansen didn't correctly account for the thermal...

I updated the wiki a few times now.  Most recently I added a revisiting of James Hansen's 1988 global warming projections, which just so happen to yield a climate sensitivity of 3°C for a doubling of CO2.  It's quite...

The Dirty Air Act would just take away the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.  It wouldn't have any impact on air traffic.
