A century later, the consequences of putting every living soul on gas-powered wheels are piling up, from the air over our cities to the sand under our soldiers' boots. And by the way, with its blacksmithed body panels and crude instruments, the Model T was a piece of junk
Right, so the guy who invented the first mass produced car is responsible for global warming, and the car was rubbish as it didn't have air con and cruise control.

I don't know what worries me the most, that people like that are allowed to write such articles, or that lots of people will take it as gospel...

It's pretty shiite journalism... completely illogical, it's like someone singing out of tune: every now and then, their random notes intersect with the original score and they actually hit the right note but the majority of the time they're singing a completely different tune.

As a car which failed utterly and completely in the marketplace its position looks well-earned to me!
