New York's Getting Hotter

Looks like the global warming issue is heating up here in NY State. The incoming governor, Elliot Spitzer, has deemed global warming the number one environmental issue facing the state and is proposing state level action. This could get interesting. STORY

Concepts like, pay-as-you drive car insurance and registration pricing, should get an interesting reception.

Here in the Empire State, there are definite signs of climate change. I know from personal experience that the saltwater fishing season for migratory striped bass and blue fish keeps getting extended, (I have a buddy talking about going to Montauk for some surf fishing next week), ski season never starts, southern critters like the possum keep extending their range northward and acid rain has damaged much of the Adirondack's lakes, streams and vegetation.
