Whatever you do, don’t try and cook it with “back radiation” from IR. That won’t do anything!
Ah, it will if you use an IPCC approved oven:

You have got love this ( from the UKMetoffice on Boxing day)- Did it snow or not? :
White Christmas.
Using technology such as radar, webcams and ground based sensors combined with the expert opinion of experienced forecasters, the Met Office is able to declare whether or not (YES or NO) snow fell at the following locations on Christmas Day 2010 :- Aberdeen: YES. Glasgow: YES. Edinburgh: YES. London: NO. Liverpool: NO. Manchester: NO. Birmingham: NO. Cardiff: NO. Belfast: NO. Issued at 0010 on Sun 26 Dec 2010.
Thanks Anthony and all contributors for your good works in exposing this nasty anti-human, anti-freedom, anti-civilisation scam.

says it all really!
Just remember that the IPCC says in Chapter ten of the AR4:
“For a future warmer climate … Globally averaged mean water vapour, evaporation and precipitation are projected to increase.”
So, in those places where it snows, it’s going to snow more.
Colder? No.
May every one have a happy and prosperous 2011.
Disaster is inevitable – we must all flee to Bugaresch. 🙂

EPA legislates.
Isn’t that the job of Congress?
@Steve case
Here at my place it is colder but not much snow. I can tell by the frozen ice on my pond. Snow doesn’t equal colder or milder.
The idea that it will snow more everywhere is just silly. AGW or not.

Hey, anyone know how to cook a turkey?”
Keith answers:
Well, lessee….
You could get a research grant to investigate efficient barbecues (hey, someone did that though probably on his own nickel), or to erect solar panels but then you’d need a suitable electric grill, or…
What the heck, just do it the old way:
– chop down a dry tree
– split it up into chunks and very narrow chunks
– pile narrow pieces in low conical shape
– pile large pieces in conical shape above
– whittle shavings to start fire
– find a dry match or a lighter that still has fuel, or study your Boy Scout manual on alternatives
– wait until the wind dies down so it doesn’t blow the flame out
– eventually enjoy turkey the old way, a third burnt, a third under cooked, just like in a world without modern fuels and technologies.
