Surburban spawl and global warming

One more thing before I get out of here for a day or two.

Urban sprawl continues, researchers have found. How about that?

Earlier this year, a study in California showed that urban parts of that state have had an average increase in temperature over the past 50 years while the rural areas have actually seen their temperatures decline.

There's your solution to global warming. Get everyone out of the city and spread them throughout the rural areas evenly, expect where you need farmland. Call it the Cabell County/Huntington model.
