This article was written by Tom Atwel. From his Facebook page, we learned that Tom has worked for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram since 1974, retiring as a copy editor in October 2011. He still writes The Maine Gardener column that appears in the Telegram’s Home & Garden section and What Ales You, a beer column that appears Thursdays in the Press Herald’s Go section.
As Tom writes at the beginning of his article:
“The climate is changing, becoming hotter overall and more extreme. No person who spends time outdoors can argue with that. People with a let-business-do-whatever-it-wants philosophy can argue about what is causing the change (although some 97% of scientists agree it is likely caused by human activities), but they can’t reasonably argue that it is not changing.
