Hah!

Sick of Toyota's 'Saved by Zero' ad? You're not alone.

As of Thursday night, the "Stop Playing Toyota's 'Saved by Zero' Commercial" group on Facebook boasted 5,141 members. The group's description states, in part: [N]ever before has a commercial this bad been aired so much."


Toyota is going to keep playing it, though, because they say it's bringing folks into the showroom. It stopped playing nationally on Nov 9, but it's still on local rotation.

Have a *great* weekend

World on track for 6 degree warming, says report

The world is on track to increase average temperatures by six degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100 - three times the target limit set by governments at last year's Bali summit, the International Energy Agency reports.

Know what happens?

+5.4°: Sea levels rise by five metres

The West Antarctic ice sheet breaks up, eventually adding another five metres to global sea levels. If these temperatures are sustained, the entire planet will become ice-free, and sea levels will be 70 metres higher than today. South Asian society collapses due to the disappearance of glaciers in the Himalayas, drying up the Indus river, while in east India and Bangladesh, monsoon floods threaten millions. Super-El Niños spark global weather chaos. Most of humanity begins to seek refuge away from higher temperatures closer to the poles. Tens of millions of refugees force their way into Scandanavia and the British Isles. World food supplies run out

And who made this determination, you ask?

The IEA is the energy counterpart of the OECD, a Paris-based think tank funded by Western governments, including Australia, to advise on energy demand, supply, technologies and policy issues. Its advice is seen as authoritative.
