Polar Vortex Causes Hundreds Of Injuries

So here is a great example of denialist propaganda paid for by conservative/fossil fuel interests. Pure propaganda akin to the kind the tobacco industry used while trying to suppress the science saying tobacco is harmful.
Marc Morano runs the climate denial website ClimateDepot.com. He previously worked for Rush Limbaugh and Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) -- both vocal climate change deniers.
Although he has no scientific background, Morano has declared that the science of manmade climate change is "collapsing." He has called global warming a "con job" and said that climate scientists "deserve to be publicly flogged." Morano often appears on Fox News to spread misinformation on climate change, and Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly used his material to attack climate scientists.
Climate Depot is sponsored by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a conservative think tank that has received funding from ExxonMobil and Chevron. CFACT dismisses the scientific consensus on climate change and maintains that "real world evidence" shows that "global warming claims are failing." To spread its message, CFACT organized the Copenhagen Climate Challenge -- a conference of climate contrarians -- to coincide with the UN climate conference in 2009.

Me against the "polar vortex'. We'll call it a draw, but it was a hell of a battle.:eek:

I used to pride myself on using only a snow shovel. But two years ago when we got buried under 14 inches of heavy snow and my back was sore for days afterward I bought an electric snow thrower.
I figure the snow thrower has a carbon footprint which will warm the air thus resulting in less snow.
