The article talks about an individual weather event. While there has been some discussion about more extreme storms being caused by global warming, there isn't any such link made in the article itself, nor have I seen anything in the peer-reviewed literature about hailstone sizes in relation to warming.

FWIW, the key way in which climate models do not provide accurate predictions is that human behavior determines future CO2 emissions, and thus future atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Climate models don't predict human actions; they predict the consequences of those potential future actions. The really wide range of outcomes from various scenarios in the IPCC reports are largely a result of the different assumptions about how much people choose to dig up and burn.

The world’s largest tidal turbine was recently unveiled in Scotland, The Atlantis Resources AK1000 can supply power to 1000 homes, and is to be installed at the European Marine Energy Centre in the Orkney Islands

Give it a few years. This type of tidal turbine is basically a pilot project at this point.

The California Vehicle Code uses the following definition:
A bicycle is a device upon which any person may ride, propelled exclusively by human power through a belt, chain, or gears, and having one or more wheels.
That won't stop cops from writing tickets, and it won't stop the bottom-rung judges from upholding the tickets. You need to be willing to spend the $$$ for a lawyer and a trial of record if you want to do what Martin Krieg did.

He is Doing Something Different. Though to be fair, not having a light after dark is quite dangerous. A carbide lamp would probably have been the right solution to that one.

That looks like University Ave. The normal speed of traffic on that stretch of road is ~15mph, when it moves at all.

I'd advise against it. If you're drunk enough to get a DUI, you'll probably fall. And falling on a high-wheel bicycle is much more likely to cause a broken bone than falling on a modern design.
No. Its that commentators on newspaper websites are mostly assholes.

Its probably Martin Krieg, who found an interesting loophole in the California Vehicle code: if it doesn't have a chain, it isn't a bicycle:
But, as he explains, the HiWheel is legal because it falls outside the California vehicle code definition of a bicycle that is chain, gear or belt driven. It's driven by two pedals. "Technically, it falls through the cracks" in the vehicle code, he said.

The real question is how quickly the EPA can turn their endangerment finding into a set of regulations which bar new CO2 emission sources. That's the stick which might make legislation possible.
