New Bayesian Approach Addressing Shared Biases Across Models Suggests That Stabilizing CO2 Concentrations at Current Levels Leaves 10% Chance of Exceeding 2°C Target
According to an analysis based on a new hierarchical Bayes framework developed by Derek Lemoine at UC Berkeley that addresses shared biases across models, stabilizing atmospheric concentration of CO2 at current levels leaves a 10% chance of exceeding the 2°C target increase relative to pre-indus...
Correction to my previous posting-
The only other way to get 40 mpg combined city and highway is to build a hybrid.
Hybrids are great, but cost more.
If you want to get to 100 mpg, then a small, light hybrid will be necessary. It will need safety enhancements.

The 40 mpg highway is impressive. However, the new CAFE rules will require almost 40 mpg combined city and highway.
The only way to get there is to make the cars lighter.
This will remove steel and make the cars more deadly in collisions.
Please look at my invention that will make small cars safer in collisions:

Do I dare to disagree with the engineers at BMW? I do.
About carbon fiber: "Its rigidity, ... ability to absorb enormous energy." "High speed impacts..barely any deformation."
Crumple zones are supposed to crumple.
They are not supposed to be rigid.
Rigid delivers killer g forces on body.
Their Drive Module Crumple Zone protects in front or rear end impact. My invention protects sides, as well as front and rear.
My invention can use cheap, rigid polyurethane foam.

I have invented a way to make vehicles lighter and safer at the same time. In a few weeks, I will be granted a US patent.
The patent application document has a link on my website- www.safersmallcars.com
Government mpg requirements (CAFE) will force cars to become lighter since weight is a big factor in mpg.
Lighter cars are probably going to be smaller cars because there is no cost effective alternative to steel.
The easiest way to get weight down is to remove steel.
Removing steel to lighten cars is a bad idea because steel is an excellent absorber of collision energy.
The collision death rate of micro vehicles is double that of mid size vehicles. The invention can save lives and fuel.
