I am sick of the cold weather in the north. I want to increase global warming so it's not so frickin cold here. I already own a diesel car and a car that gets really bad gas mileage, any new ideas?

I like leaving the heat on with the windows open.
Never buy a car that gets better than 15mpg.
Boycott CF light bulbs because you don't want to contribute to mercury poisoning.
Open cans of soda and let them get flat. Do the same with beer from a friends home.
Feed beans to cows.

You can purchase a cattle farm, or an airline that flies empty planes across the planet, drill and vent your land. Burn any nearby woods to release trapped carbon, pressure clean your filters into the atmosphere, remove any plants from your home. Remove the insulation from your house, drill negatively sloped air holes in your walls, doors, window frames. Refuse to switch to CFLs, solar or wind power. Cremate all corpses you are legally entitled to. Place blackened boards of wood all over your yard and spike them into the ground. Leave all of your engines idle whenever your are away from them.
Thats about all I can think of about now. Hopefully this was just a joke and you're not serious. Your best bet would be to just move south however you should remain up north.
Drought conditions are getting worse in the south and soon enough you will be happy to live somewhere where there is plenty of water to drink. If the expected 20-30 year drought arrives in the next decade or two, you'll be happy where you are.

Beth first off i doubt you have been in a hurricane much less a thunderstorm. Secondly Beth there are other atmospheric conditions to consider than just air temperature for snow. Just cause its 20 degree outside doesn't mean its supposed to snow. Now you really wanna increase a carbon footprint go senselessly kill animals and let all the windbags go off on ya that should at least quintulple current CO2 measurments

Unless you have a few million there is no way you would be able to significantly increase warming, while an individual may help reduce it (as part of a collective effort of most people trying to reduce it as is happening now), to increase it is much harder, the only way to do so would be to consume energy, from hydrocarbon sources (clean burning usually as coal etc produces a cooling affect from dust which counteracts partially its damage).
Bear in mind to do what you would want you would have to burn fuel proportional to the multi trillion dollar international energy industry to make a dent, your best option is to relocate to an area with a climate more suitable to your desires, it will save you millions compared to what you are suggesting.

Want to switch locations? I have already forgotten (almost) what snow looks like and miss the Winter magic of soft snowflakes falling from the sky. It's hotter than a chick at a strip club with three boobs, where I'm at, so hot, even the Devil won't come here for a visit....
Used to be you could build Snowmen in November. Now you can go skinny dippping in December!

AMEN!!! LOL this is an awesome question. I live in Northern Virginia, and it's cold here too. Maybe we should run our heaters to the max, leave our lights on throughout the day, breathe really hard, drive when we want to visit our neighbors across the street, or maybe just leave your car running all day long! Find a way to genetically enhance cows so that they reproduce faster.
Good grief, people really need to get serious about this, don't they? Great question!

Start moving towards the Equatorial regions. Let the poor planet escape a global warming which might put many places including your home under rising sea levels.

Don't. How old are you? I doubt you're old enough to know that it's probably not the coldest it's been for a long time. I doubt you're young enough to actually have the concequences in your future. Unfortunately, I AM young enough to suffer the concequences. I AM old enough to remember that it's only snowed twice for a very long time, here, where it should have snowed at least 10 times!!! There's a strip of the world where peope are dying becausd of global warming- it's so hot it's unbareable.
Ever been in a hurricaine? Well, because of global warming they'll increase in frequency and they'll come up north. this WILL happen if you consider aiding global warming!

Just by increasing global warming doesn't mean that it will get warmer will you live. Side effects might be that it gets drier or even colder. If i were you I wouldn't be worrying about how to pollute the planet more but instead I'd be worried about where my next house is going to be. Hopefully it's in warmer climes....

Go to the arctic (wait until after Christmas - January is good), strip down, and exercise vigorously. This will cause you to breathe hard and expel more CO2. You can sit and rest about 30 minutes before you start up again.
