I love my SUV

Say what you want. It's your opinion.
The problem though is that the government is starting to go 'green' so they could place taxes on gas guzzlers (SUV's come under that category).

It sounds to me like you do not even have a basic idea of what Global Warming is. The climate does not constantly have to be hot and dry in order to have Golobal Warming. It is something that is occuring every single day and as much as we would like to stop it we cannot. The poloar ice caps are melting at a very dangerous rate and the Earth's atmosphere is heating up on an average of 1 degree per year. By the year 2,050 oceanic experts are predicting we will have gone through 1/2 of our fossil fuels. Instead of finding alterinitives to get to work like biking almost all of us use cars and that really heats things up as well. In fact one of the ways we know that Global Warming is getting worse is the weather patterns. Places that are dry like deserts in New Mexico and Arizona will have tempertures and so little rainfall that crops and cattle will die out unless they find a more noursing place to live. Places that are always wet will have so much rain and snow that they will flood over eventually and people will have to find a newer place to live. When you say you don't think Global Warming is true that is like saying you don't care about the number one problem occuring across throughout the globe today set to destroy the Earth and send us into an ice age much quicker than most humans think. I suggest you do some more research on Global Warming and educate yourself some more on the topic. You will be very surprised on just how scary the true facts really are.

Does this mean you will now take FULL responsibility for your own electrical consumption?
I really thought you had a great scam going with using more electricity per month than the average household uses in a year and then claiming it was OK because you "bought" pollution credits. Sort of like saying it's ok for me to kill someone because I have a get out jail free card??
Have you talked to your buddy Richard Branson at Virgin Airlines and told him that it was the polluting industry that made him rich which allows him to condemn the rest of the world for living?
By the way, Al, when you and Sir Dick get together on your next private jet trip, tell him that people have already figured out (long before the two of you even thought of offering prize money) how to get rid of CO2.
For years there have been ongoing projects by energy companies and others to sequester excess CO2 underground -- but they got/get no credit because it was oil and gas companies who came up with the idea and have researched the process at no small cost and without your help!

Well, "Al", it sure snowed a lot here in New Mexico, but we had an early Spring after. It's too soon to say, Mr. SUV
good luck

Sorry, but the use of fossil fuels, like gasoline, creates more greenhouse gases. These gases cause heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, which melts the polar ice caps. This will then flood the world!! MU-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!!!

No, you can't change your opinion. If you do that, all your friends and family are required to shun you.
Oh, wait, that's the JW's.
Um, no, you can't change your opinion. If you do that, our holy book says we should kill you ("he who changes his opinion on global warming, kill him").
Crap! That's not climate science, that's the Muslims (hadith of Bukhari, see below).
No, you can't change your opinion. If you do, all your friends will snub you and call you reactionary, racist, and a bunch of other nasty names.
Oh, wait, that's Political Correctness.
I guess you CAN change your opinion after all. But shouldn't you make sure that you aren't confusing climate with weather first?

Actually, if it is warmer, there is more evaporation, which leads to more snow. So this doesn't prove anything.
Sell your SUV, AL, and that megahouse of yours.

You think it snowed a lot? It was t-shirt weather in mid December here in New England

One cold year does not disprove global warming.
One hot year does not prove global warming.
It is WAY more complicated than that.

No. 76 days is far too short a time period over which to make such a radical change.
