Ask any NASCAR mechanic – tire pressure matters for MPG.

AAA auto club recommends you keep your tires well inflated for optimum performance and miles per gallon too.

It seemed to me like a logical suggestion to make that can save people some cents now.

Whereas the Republican solution, as always, is trying to swat a fly with a bazooka – building thousands of off-shore drilling rigs.

But what they won't tell you is that these rigs would take 25 years before they produced any significant quantities of oil, and * even then * they would not lower the cost of gasoline because by that time the demand will have skyrocketed and the extra supply will be just a drop in the bucket.

But I guess people like grand, expensive, wasteful engineering projects more than having to do two seconds of upkeep on their car. God we're lazy.

there is no point in discussing this topic with you. You are just a conspiracy theorist. You probably still believe that the moon landing was a hoax and is made of cheese. Come on.
If you are going to argue that I dont know how to spell moron then at least put a citation of a peer review journal that backs up the comment you posted.

Whether global warming is human-caused is still open for debate.

Whether it is happening at all, however, IS NOT.

Even the Bush admin, the most environmentally unfriendly administration in at least 25 years, has admitted that it is happening, although they won't admit to a human contribution.

Global warming (a.k.a. climate change) is a left wing media driven scare tactic.

The Earth does and always has modified its climate over the billions of years in its existance. No doubt the hunter/gatherers that built all those campfires 17,000 years ago caused the last ice age to disappear.

Get a grip.

Neglegible is time-scale relative. So for your narrow mentality, I bet, oxygen already escaped from your brain.=)

Note that I said "so we still have oxygen all the way until the Sun becomes a red giant."

Even a "negligible" amount is enough to remove the entire atmosphere of the Earth over large enough time scales, if we cause the plantlife that is replenishing the oxygen to become extinct.

And of course, the human race would be extinct long before the oxygen was gone from all the carbon dioxide in the air that'd no longer be absorbed by plant life.

The problem with global warming deniers is that they have no imagination and can not conceive of any time scale much larger than an election cycle.

The article said we are losing a "neglible" amount of oxygen.

This is the same mentality that drives the global warming nonsense.

What rot.

Plasma Cosmology has already answered this question 2 decades ago!! 1988.

See Falthammar: Magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions — near-Earth manifestations of the Plasma Universe, 1988.

Available on NASA's Astrophysica Data Service. Look it up! It explains exactly this phenomenon electrically! I'd post the link, but it keeps rejecting my post.

It seems we need to ONCE AGAIN go back and revisit the work of Alfvén and actually PAY ATTENTION this time. No more ignoring electric fields and electric currents!
