Another reason to convert from Nitro - global warming!

Over the years here in Seattle area, I've noticed a few things. When I first moved out here in the early 90's, summers were perfect: Highest temp was 80 to 85, it was solid sun from about the 7th of July through September. Winters were a constant drizzle, normally about 50 degrees, with a few half days of snow thrown in.

Its steadily been getting hotter during the summer every year. This year we are setting new records. Its been dry since sometime back in May. First time every to record 100 degrees in Seattle will occur today or tomorrow. Last night was the warmest night ever when it didn't get below 70. This last winter we had sub 20 degrees for several weeks, and three times we had snow that lasted for more than a week.

Now, I know it gets warmer in most of the country, and its more humid in the south and east. But keep in mind that very few out here have A/C in anything but their cars - we just never needed it.

I've never been one to side with the "ecology" minded individuals, but things are starting to show that have my attention a little more...
