Pedal-powered Christmas tree lights

In honor of the international climate change negotiations in Copenhagen, ‘global-warmers’ have decorated a 55-foot Christmas tree with LED lights.

The tree in Copenhagen's City Hall Square will be powered by people. That’s right, people. People pedaling bicycles.

City Hall Square has been equipped with 15 bicycles to light up the 700 LED bulbs on the tree.

Some will say this is an amateurish gimmick. However, it will probably be applauded by the global warming fraternity as they cheer on 15 sweaty volunteers pedaling on stationary bicycles to generate electricity to light up the tree.
