Hey ladies, wondering how to help fight climate change? It's simple: just stop encouraging men who waste resources! In particular, said U.K. climate scientist David King this week, "stop admiring young men in Ferraris." King's comments were immediately pounced upon -- not by feminists, but by Ferrari owners, who protested that their vehicles spew less than four-wheel-drive vehicles. Also they are not compensating for anything, and never have been. Thanks for asking.sources: Wired, The Telegraph
