Lightbulb Doubling my Carbon footprint to help the Northern hemisphere

Hi everyone,

I have a new years resolution that I know I can keep. I hereby resolve to at least double my Carbon Footprint in the coming year.

This should be of immense help to all those poor Europeans that are suffering from the cold. If we all try harder we can warm the atmosphere enough to prevent this unseasonable winter weather.
Snow in winter, what next ?

Just be careful or the gulf stream may permanently chose other countries to be friend with...we live at the latitude of Alaska or so!

When I turn on my tubed system, I warm up my basement a degree. A most inefficient system. I await the day when my govt regulates what I am allowed to use for audio equipment. Class D only, save the planet. SIGH

My recipe for assisting the North.

1. wind bias up on my amps to 600W total for all six channels

2. buy a new Tojo and drive everywhere

3. set house aircon at 26c degrees instead of 27c, 1 degree cooler takes a lot of energy up here.

4. more overseas holidays

5. get my old kwaka 750 triple out of the shed and run it on Castrol R 30 mix, lotsa CO, CO2, and lovely blue smoke

One or two of these would help - Made by N2A (No 2 Alike) http://www.n2amotors.com/pdfs/789buyerpacket.pdf

$140K - but you can add the 1000hp option for $63K - now THAT's a carbon footprint!

I don't want to get into a discussion on global warming after all this is an audio forum. But it really really aggravates me when people say...well it is -10 Celcius where I live. So I really don't get it what they mean with global warming. Fact is that year after year the AVERAGE global temperature is going up. It like sitting on the couch watching your team lose. And you say...I don't understand why we are losing. We are playing so much better. Well yeah look at the scoreboard. In this case look at the MEASURED temperatures since man began measuring. They tell a different story. I don't want to even get into a discussion on the causes of global warming with folks who deny the fact of global warming.

Gorgeous, but I would want it to run on leaded fuel @2.2 MPG
