Concord Monitor - Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter leads on climate change [scam]

A couple of years ago Congressman Ed Markey held a Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming hearing atop Cannon Mountain. Some memorable testimony came from hunters who say they see ticks much longer into the autumn than previously, and that moose suffer more from ticks and blood loss, because our weather has warmed. Evidence is more bloodied trees where moose have tried to scrape off ticks no longer terminated by reliably-arrived cold. Further, the moose they like to hunt are being driven by our warmer New Hampshire weather into Canada. We also heard from fishermen and syrup boilers. All reported seeing disturbing change.

My ecologist daughter Geneva often reminds me we need to phrase it "global climate change." Temperature gone warmer in one place may provoke temperature gone colder in another. Precipitation can be more or less, and of changed frequency or duration per storm. We've seen that in New Hampshire last year and this.

Orchards fight frost | Oregon

Luis Balero, superintendent at Associated Fruit Orchard, said the full complement of heaters and fans was deployed across 1,400 acres of pears in the early morning hours Friday, but it wasn't enough to keep the temperature above freezing.

"We worked and worked and worked, but we could only hold 27 (degrees)," Balero said. "We started lighting every heater at about 2 a.m. and they were running all night, until the sun came up."

Balero said Associated Fruit has about 3,500 heaters for its orchards, and each heater burns a gallon of diesel fuel per hour. He said it's expensive — and rare — for an orchard to use that many heaters during one night, but Thursday was one of those nights when it was necessary.

"It was one of the coldest nights I've seen in five years," Balero said.

Veteran orchardist Ron Meyer said the overnight frost was the coldest since 1972, when the valley's pear crop suffered extensive damage after the temperature plunged to 18 degrees.

These difficulties have come to a head this winter, which thanks to the heaviest snow in 30 years has produced poor quality grass in many areas, meaning some lambs have not survived.
