MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • February 8, 2026
May we all pay attention to science and realize that wild weather of this kind is actually caused by a warming Arctic, just one more way that our prolific use of heat trapping fossil fuels is coming back to bite us, this time not with heat but with cold. When will all Americans learn that burning coal, oil and propane to heat our homes and businesses is only making matters worse, and that sensible energy policies, based on the use of renewable sources like solar and wind, are an achievable option today. The disinformation being spread by our current president and his administration must not be bought hook, line and sinker. ~ Sam Saltonstall, Brunswick
