Cause of Global Warming Found

August 30, 2007

Bootbinder, MN (Scribble Duck) - Scientists have tracked down the cause of global warming to the small town of Bootbinder, Minnesota: Grady Doofwelder. "I'm embarassed", said Doofwelder. "I had been coming up here to the cabin for twenty years. I haven't been back in the last couple of years because I've been busy at work. Well, it turns out that the last time I was up here, I left the heat going, and I left one of the windows open. I'm so embarrassed."

Scientists finally tracked down the source of the warmth through a bit of luck. "We've been studying this for years", says Dudley Branstof, Chief Scientists for the Search For Global Warming causes. "At first we thought it was carbon emissions, then we thought it was cow flatulence... One night I was looking at some satellite pictures of the US, and I noticed a bright red glow in the middle of Minnesota. We went to investigate, and we found Mr. Doofwelder's cabin."

Doofwelder promises to be sure to watch his cabin more closely now. "You can bet I won't let THAT happen again", says a repentant Doofwelder. "I am going to have a hard time explaining this utility bill to the Mrs."
