EastTimes-Free Boston Press PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley PUBLISHER: Debra DiGregorio Forum EDITOR:: Cary Shuman PUBLISHER EMERITUS: John A. Torrone THE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG

For the better part of three decades, the vast majority of scientists -- including those hired by the petroleum in- dustry -- have warned the world that climate change is oc- curring principally because of carbon emissions from our addiction to fossil fuels for our automobiles, coal power plants, industry, and agricultural production. They have measured the effects in any number of ways, most especially the shrinkage of the ice sheets at the polar regions that eventually will result, they have said, in a rise in sea levels around the globe. The also have told us that a warming planet will bring about an increase in ocean temperatures, which in turn will have devastating consequences both for marine life, which cannot exist in warmer waters, and for ourselves, who will feel the impact of ever-more devastating storms. They have warned that unless we take steps within the next decade to curb the so-called greenhouse gas emis- sions, the Earth could become irreversibly changed by the end of this century. However, the scientists have been wrong. Very wrong. It turns out that the time frame the climate scientists pre- dicted for the dramatic effects of climate change to occur has been grossly underestimated because their models did not take into account the effect of the feedback loops creat- ed by our warming planet. We aren’t scientists, but even we understand what is Guest Op-Ed happening right in front of our eyes. The ice sheets at the poles are melting faster than even the direst of models had predicted.

For 45 years East Boston’s elected officials have contin- ued a long tradition of hosting an Election Day luncheon in the neighborhood. The tradition first began with the late Sen. LoPresti at Tony’s Restaurant on Sumner Street. The luncheon was a way for politicians and their campaign staff to put aside political differences for a few hours on election day and break bread. The tradition continues and is now held at Santarpio’s Pizza, and was hosted by City Councilor Lydia Edwards last Tuesday.
