Op-Ed: Climate Change … A Different Perspective
By RICK NEBEL
Los Alamos
On Oct. 31, 2021, the PBS weekend news ran a story on climate change from Portland, Maine. The story was about the increasing water levels in the Gulf of Maine which are now occasionally covering historic piers in Portland. The cause of this phenomenon is believed to be increasing temperatures in the Gulf of Maine due to climate change. The irony of this is that in the past 30 years the lobster population in the Gulf of Maine has quadrupled, also a result of the increasing water temperatures. In short, Portland lobstermen are directly benefiting from climate change. That was Read More

That may seem like a long time away, but the summer of 2026 is less than 3 years from now. New Mexico’s car dealers are the ones with the most Read More
