You can't blame this on cars

What are global warming proponents going to do with this? It turns out dinosaurs may have produced, ahem, methane in greater quantities than all modern sources combined and literally warmed the earth, according to Current Biology. At the same time other researchers have found wind farms raise nearby overnight temperatures by about 0.72 degree Celsius — a level nearly equal to total average global warming since the end of the Little Ice Age. So green energy may be bad for the environment, and the automobile-free Jurassic Age was a near cataclysm thanks to dinosaurs’ poor dietary habits. Somewhere a hippie is really freaking out right now. Can’t we just acknowledge naturally occurring, dramatic environmental shifts have occurred for centuries? Instead of blaming your neighbor’s F-150 for the weather, credit Mother Nature for being one really tough customer.
