I didn't see it as a case against man made climate change though, quite the contrary. He doesn't seem to think it is a big deal because we can easily make the climate do whatever we want by changing agricultural practices.



That has nothing to do with weather gw exists or not.

Never argued that it doesn't exist (if you look at Dysons article, he makes the interesting statement that global warming as such doesn't exist, since the entire globe hasn't warmed, only the arctic regions have... particularly in the northern hemisphere) However, I'm contending the cause of the climate change.... if humans are the cause, it's more to do with land use then it has to do with CO2 emissions.

As for the research money (not connected to the article BTW), thats in answer to the statement that no reasearch is being done to dispute the CO2 induced climate change theory. The reason for this IMHO is lack of funding.

As for hypermiling.... it's looking more and more like our crude resources are becoming more limited. If so, then we all must learn to consume fuel wisely if we want to continue driving around. The alternatives out there don't look very promising.
