Most figure when cold like this hits, then GW is a joke. What they don't understand is this cold is just a localized occurrence ad compared to the rest of the world. That plus taking into account the change over the last few decades, then the pattern becomes much easier to see. The more fossil fuels we burn via cars, home energy costs like that new TV or Fridge, means more coal or petroleum products are being released into the atmosphere. Venus could very much be our future in the extreme sense. It's a giant solar collector because of all the C, CO2 and Sulfur.
Everybody change your bulbs to energy savers, same light but operate at 1/4th the power. Saves you money and saves the planet. Also check all your air filters, buy only Energy Star appliances and turn off TVs/PCs/etc if you're going to be away awhile.
My good deed for the day,
