Not great. Sucks up the equivalent of only 800 cars but it's better than nothing.

And "Conservatives" proclaim - based on their scientific knowledge gleaned from 100s of hours of Fox & Friends viewing - that mankind's impact has ZERO impact on world climate ?!!

That the changes we're seeing, are all just part of some multi epochal "cycle," which just by pure coincidence happens to align with the last few decades.

They really must hate their future descendants.

Surely engineers could learn from these and produce improved models.
