This is helpful. Perhaps there is a way of logging where these stations are. Surrounding a weather station with asphalt must surely have some effect?
A. Sirois is now one of a handful of Mainers trained to present their own versions of Gore's now-famous slide show, always at no cost. He is quick to point out that his presentation, like the issue of global warming, is nonpartisan. "This is a look at the science of climate change and the solutions to climate change," he said. Maine's two senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, are both examples of Republicans focusing on the issue, he points out. And, he said, some of those who have seen his presentation are conservative Republicans. Sirois and others are examples of how the movie is having impacts that transcend politics, according to Anne "Andy" Burt, environmental justice coordinator for the Maine Council of Churches.
Simple energy conservation makes good sense. Where you run into problems is when the government jumps in and forces stupid programs down your throat.
We use nothing but energy saving lightbulbs, and have done so for many years. If he talks his neighbors into doing that, fine.
If he talks his neighbors into a state of algore craziness, and they vote for politicians to start making enthanol from seaweed or some such stupidity, then he's just helping to spread trouble. Maine is already an economic basket case.
Learning earth science from Al Gore is like learning surgery from a witch doctor.
I wonder if there's a list of these 1000 Apostles of Algore. Like, if I want one to come to my house and do the slide show, who do I contact?
Thanks, my brother lives in Maine, 30 miles from Augusta.
Then you're saving yourself a little bit of money. Not trying to pass it off as if the polar bears will have more glaciers due to your actions.
It's been a pet peeve of mine since Jimmy Carter with the sweater. We need to address issues seriously and with intelligence, not with self delusion.
I have relatives in Portland, Windsor and So. Thomaston. In the next year or so we'll be in Owl's Head. I'd put two in the useful idiot category, two in the upstanding self sufficient category (although one tends to be more of a centrist democrat but will generally vote the way the union wants, the other is a solid conservative) and one is a screaming lib.
