I hear that former president Al Gore not only took the initiative in creating the internet, but is also very active in educating people about "the climate crisis" that just about everybody else is calling "global warming."

Even though I am a highly edjumacated Bachelor of Science and stuff, I am not a trained meteorologist and have a very faint understanding of the weather science. Because of that fact I leave arguing about global warming to the experts and all-knowing bloggers.

I do have some stupid thoughts about it though. The previous three winters were very cold, and every time I watched miserable New Yorkers digging their cars out of snow, I thought that global warming would be welcomed by them. This winter, when I suddenly became a motorist myself, I found that I am greatly enjoying the unusually warm temperatures.

It looks like my minivan emissions caused some record breaking weather in New York. A couple of cherry and plum trees in Brooklyn Botanic Garden blossomed prematurely. I took these pictures last Saturday, January 6th. Now, I'd like to know, if I'll buy a small boat, will it help the summers to become cooler? If so, I think I'll invest in one.

This reminded me of the article that I've seen in the Fantastic Story Magazine for Winter 1953, in fact the same magazine from which I liberated the masthead of my website.

Dr. Bartlett's company is still in business and "this theory about the more carbon dioxide the warmer" is still around too.
