Mechanical problems in early satellites were sometimes attributed to cold welding. However, in 2006, Henry Spencer stated that the phenomenon of spontaneous cold welding in outer space is "basically a myth", pointing out that "there are no documented cases of it actually occurring in orbit, except in experiments deliberately designed to provoke it (with susceptible materials, great care to avoid contamination, and deliberate mechanical removal of oxide layers, etc.)."
#24 - More leftist bullshit. First, by definition a farm is a place where plants grow. The writer must have assumed they were using tractors on those farms? A "forest" wouldn't grow fast enough to make any difference at all and 40,000 people at that time probably had the carbon footprint of one person today. There's also the little matter of fact that even in Al Gore's Global Warming hysteria presentation, there was the little matter that historically carbon in the atmosphere increased after temperatures went up, not the other way around. Too bad the socialists don't realize that correlation is not causation.

That's a really depressing story about a brilliant boy who killed himself and left no explanation.
Exactly how is that a 'fun fact'?
