Ok, not really. It's December 19th and already 70 degrees today, and it's been like this all week. Now granted I live in a Southern state, but it's still usually a tad bit colder this time around! So how is the weather where you are now? Do you think the abnormal temps are due to Global Warming? If so, what have you been doing in your own life to help combat it?

i believe global warming is one of the biggest hoaxes being perpetrated on us.
in the last century, we've been scared about climate change, first it was global cooling, then warming, then cooling again, and now warming again.
i do believe in being green to prevent pollution and conserve our natural resources. it makes no sense to waste energy when we can save it by making small changes. i use flourescent bulbs where possible. i seperate out my recycling.

Yes, I use the energy saving bulbs in all the fixtures I have. I wish recycling was more prominent where I live where it was common practice and knowledge on where to take them or to even have it funded by the county to give everyone a blue recycling box and pick-up service! :P

Right now it is 4 degrees above 0. A couple of weeks ago was 35 degrees below zero. Coming from Canada, I can handle 20 degrees below 0 but when it's 35 below, then it starts to get uncomfortable.
You could imagine 4 degrees above 0, literally people here will wear shorts outside.
When it is 20 below 0 or colder, for sure we have to plug in our car. When it was 35 below, I had my car running for 10 minutes and it still was not warm yet. Keep in ind my car is only 1 year old so you know it is COLD.
