Well, Fred, whatever global warming there was in the past 13 years was caused by sun spot activity which turned the thermostat up on the sun. It goes in about an 11 year cycle. There is no question it was warmer here in northern MN for about a decade, but the sunspot cycle is over and we have pretty much returned to normal. Of course, the global warming activitists are desperately beating their drum trying to keep their agenda active for political reasons. But it is hard to convince the public when they look at their heating bills, shovel deep snow, and have to put on extra layers of clothes for extra months. By the way, are you comfortable leaving your tug uncovered all winter? Snow won't hurt gelcoat, but if moisture gets into cracks and then re-freezes, you could have trouble. (nice boat BTW).
