O Jornal - State Rep. tightens ties in the Azores

The group met with Andre Bradford, secretary of the presidency of the Regional Government, and discussed the establishment of a center in the Azores to study climate change.
In addition to UMass Dartmouth and the University Azores, two other European and a New Jersey universities are interested in taking part in the project, said Rep. Rodrigues.
"We have this vision of a location where scientists around the world studying global warming and climate change can convene meetings once or twice a year to come together to discuss their scientific research," he said. "We'd like that to be located somewhere in the Azores because it makes the most sense. It's half way between North America and Europe."

Bravo, John Piscopo

Thanks to Hartford Courant columnist Rick Green's blog, I see that the state representative whose district includes Burlington, Republican John Piscopo, has introduced a measure "to repeal global warming legislation that was passed based on the assumption that global warming is caused by human action."
