What happens when you sew a young mouse to an old one so they share a vascular system?

The Global Oil Surplus
But, but…PEAK OIL!
I predict that the wealth generated by cheap fossil energy will vastly exceed the costs of mitigating changes in climate, regardless of their cause.
It’s Not Just Big Sugar
A lot of other food producers profited from the demonization of fat. This is the biggest health disaster in history, I think.

There is no reason to even consider eating reduced-fat cheese. Same with all dairy, including milk. Low-fat milk is a nutritional abomination.
It’s almost impossible to find whole-milk mozarella, at least shredded. Fage won’t produce a whole-milk Greek yogurt; best you can do is two percent. And Costco only sells fat-free. Fortunately, Trader Joe’s has started selling its own brand, in whole-milk, at a lower price, so that’s our new yogurt.
Hitting Back Twice As Hard
A climate skeptic has filed a civil RICO lawsuit against a bunch of Leftist NGOs. Discovery will be very interesting, if it’s not dismissed.
Natural Selection
Just one more reason to not take climate hysteria seriously.
Mars
What we need to know before we send people there. And they don’t even discuss the gravity issue.
[Update a few minutes later]
Eric Berger says that Elon is between a rocket and a hard place. I don’t think that taxpayer money should to go build giant rockets, whether by SpaceX or Boeing.
Cryonics
A very nice, but long piece on the current state of the art, over at Gizmodo.
Microsoft’s Cancer Cure
Derek Lowe isn’t impressed.

@Rand_Simberg @Dereklowe @Eaterofsun Maybe they could just install Windows 10 into the tumors?

XKCD And Climate
I’m generally a big fan of Randall Monroe, but I thought his latest was a misfire. This is a more accurate take.
Female Orgasms
Speaking of evolution, this looks like an interesting paper.
