I'm surprised there's any more debate on whether or not global warming is caused by humans after host Jeremy Clarkson recently stated on his BBC supercar show "Top Gear" that it might be a good idea for supercar owners to adjust their driving habits to slower speeds, to save gas and lower emissions.

Granted, he did so by matching speeds between a BMW M3 and a hybrid Toyota Prius for five laps of the "Top Gear" track, and got to brag about the BMW M3 getting 19.2 MPG going at the Toyota Prius' top speed, while the Prius only got 17.3 MPG at its top speed, but it was still a big change from past years of firm Jeremy Clarkson "humans aren't doing it" opinions about climate change.
