2 feet of Global Warming

Image via Wikipedia

With the record snowfall of 2 feet here in the Washington D.C. area I have developed my plan to help fight global warming and stimulate the economy. I am going to buy a snow blower before that big snowstorm in the mid west gets here.

I came up with this plan as I was shoveling the 2 feet of snow of my driveway and thinking about Copenhagen conference and Climategate. As I was shoveling I watch one of my neighbors taking her dog out for a walk. It was obvious I could blame her, yes apparently dogs put out 2.5 time the amount of CO2 than my SUV.

"We should always be suspicious of computer models, for while they look impressive, they may very well be constructed on mathematical models that the programmer assumes, but which may not be the ones that nature uses."
