I have to admit, I was VERY excited a while back when Tata announced the development of the Tata Nano. A cheap little car – and this after I’ve honestly considered acquiring a Vespa (Moped/Scooter) to get around… a thought short lived as I can’t imagine my 6′3″, 120kg body on even their biggest offerings.
After reading this article however, there’s more to consider (positive and negative) than just the price of this little car. If it’s ever available in my country (South Africa), I’ll look at it in a different light – this little car might change the world… for better or for worse…

One of the world’s leading experts on climate change says a Nobel Prize-winning panel of scientists seriously underestimated the reality of global warming when it published its report just over a year ago.
Professor Chris Field, a leading member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which released the report, says he and his fellow researchers did not have access to vital data.
Professor Field says that a warming planet will dry out forests in tropical areas, making them much more likely to suffer from bushfires.
