Mmmm, global warming....
I am not a global warming activist and I actually think all the hype is pretty funny. It struck me this morning as I am sitting here having my coffee that my truck is contributing to global warming as I type, and it's not even cranked!
It's plugged in to the extension cord and sucking up power from the local coal power plant, which is shooting smoke up into the atmosphere so that my heater is nice and warm when I get in. I just thought it was funny to be such a part of the problem. Huzzah!

Like I've said before, I am a firm believer of Global Warming: It's been going on for millions and millions of years..... It's funny that suddenly we are responsible for the last 75 years of this natural phenomenon. Now since my house is heated by natural gas, I guess I can claim my house is "green" because in a vehicle that is considered an "alternative fuel" right?

Georgia does get cold. Georgia's where I was in my first ice storm. It laid down four inches of inch back in the winter of 87/88. I was at Fort Gordon and they closed the base. Brrr.
It was fun to drive on, though. A little global warming could be good.

I remember that storm. I was stationed at Warner Robins, and was driving back from Illinois. I got to drive through Atlanta while ice was forming on the roads.
As far as global warming goes, I read something last week that said the earths ave temp hasn't gone up since 1998, and the southern hemisphere is actually starting to get cooler. The planet is doing the same thing it's been doing for millions of years. Man can't start or stop hurricanes, tornadoes, rain, snow, or anything else Mother Nature throws our way. What makes us think we can have any effect on something way bigger than any of that, good, or bad?

Yeah, it's been in the 20s when I leave the house in the morning. I just plug in to have a warm heater and any less wear and tear on the motor is good too.

global warming is just some hype that the liberal media made up to make the republicans look bad....al boore said it best in the inconvient truth where he took a movie and ruined it by bashing bush on the election.
so dont feel bad, its not real

Well ya know if it wasn't for Al Gore we wouldn't have the internet ( he invented it) and wouldn't have the DTR to yak on.
I don't buy into all this global warming it's just something the earth does every once in a while.
