I was waiting on someone to mention the mercury. I have heard that you can not just throw these bulbs out with your normal trash because of the mercury. They have to be taken to special sites that are prepared to handle the mercury-or so I've heard.
Sirois is now one of a handful ofMainersMoonbats trained to present their own versions of ... global warming, is nonpartisan. "This is a look at the science of climate change and the solutions to climate change"
Yo, Sirois take a looky at these thingys...
Hint; THEY are what affects 'climate change'
Looks like I'll have to increase my carbon footprint again!
When the PETA vegans raise a ruckus, I eat more meat.
So when these idiots raise their ruckus, I'll idle my SUV in the driveway with the AC rolling on high.

I wonder if he has seen this trend data for Farmington, Maine. Seems that Maine, like the rest of the United States, is not trending Al Gore's way. Still, like liberals in general, why should he worry about the facts when there is some hand-wringing to do and koolaid to drink.
By the way, I turn off the lights, turn down the thermostat and avoid joy riding too - but that is because it is stupid to waste money. I still take a shower everyday: perhaps I should go back to the Saturday night bath routine and save the planet!
P.S. The Daly site is great for actual raw temperature data, as opposed to the massaged data that appears in the IPCC charts.

SIROIS IS CAUGHT IN THE BUBBLE OF GORE'S GLOBAL FLATULENCE!
Nahhh, you can still take a shower every day, you just have to turn the water off while you are soaping yourself up, then turn it back on just long enough to rinse off the soap.
Obviously the trend for Farmington, ME is upward (if you disregard anything before 1980).
That crap is getting so old. The old liberals are so ashamed to be communists that they always start out claiming to be "a Republican" who voted for Bush. The only jerks still buying that crap are the morons in the MSM.
I tend to agree that Al has something fundamentally wrong with his head. It's interesting how many nets he's cast since 2000 (academia, media, etc.) with most not going anywhere special. He hit the motherload, for the time being anyway, with human-caused GW and this augments his "established credentials" with the environuts. Whenever the GW thing collapses, Al will freak.
I'm sure he's called into C-SPAN on the repub line too!!
Far from it. Mainers are very "make do folks" who live off the land. They hunt for food, chop wood to heat their homes if propane gets to expensive and don't wait for the government to help them if things get rough. Lots of intelligent people have bought into Global Warming nonsense due to people's desire to be good stewards of the Earth, contempt for waste and hyper-consumption and a disdain for industry that has been shoved down our throats for the last 30 years.
The Farmington thermometer is very poorly sited next to a busy paved road that gets busier every year. They moved it closer to the road in the 1980s and a large parking lot went up not too far away at about the same time. It has other problems as well.
A couple of months ago, Barry Obama was pimpin' his book in Phoenix. The one person they interviewed at the Obama Love-In was "a republican who voted for Bush" and was only there to see "an honest politician." The MSM sure has a knack for being able to pick out "republicans who voted for Bush" from a crowd. It's probably just a coincidence.
I thot that Bush handled him great in the debate when the nutzoid approached him and tried to impose with his nutty presence.
So, editing your comment a bit and ignoring the fact that the thermometer got moved closer to the roadway, we could say that "the continuing encroachment of human activity and fossil fuel burning vehicles has even affected the temperature trends in formerly rural Farmington, Maine. All you have to do is look at the past couple of decades of data!"
"Inquiring minds want to know....
How is the weather in your neck of the woods this year?"
No "white Christmas" again....Warm until about mid-January. Real cold since with one major snow storm 38 degrees out right now-not bad.
Of couse, Maine is a large state, I'm sorta in the middle...
That was certainly my impression when I was growing up in Maine in the 1950s and 60s. And, I'm sure it's the case today in some areas. I see two types that worry me (and it's certainly not limited to Maine): the ignorant who buy into this (case in point with this article) and the out and out rabid eco-socialists who are definitely on the rise in Maine.
I was at one Independence Day parade this past summer (midcoast area) and the peace-at-any-price earth-centric Greens and Code Pink marchers got very warm receptions. It was disgusting.
