Now rather than focusing on climate change as the primary cause of the lakes current problems (which may or may not be true), your efforts would be much better served to hold the local towns and DES responsible to be better stewards of protecting the lake. Pulling back the curtain on the town of Alton and how they have addressed a major development project in West Alton would be a good start. We used to live there but we now moved to Virginia because of this. People need to wake up and protect the valuable resource called Lake Winnipesaukee. |
Completely agree. We should do all we can here and now to try to combat this problem. My point is that we can do several things at once, both short term and long term. Yes, of course the climate has changed over time. But I don't see how anyone can doubt that human pollution of the air has been contributing to more rapid changes than would ordinarily take place. I mean, no-one argues that spewing pollution into bodies of water causes all kind of problems. Why is there an argument about the need to reduce emissions into the atmosphere? Who doesn't want cleaner air? Sorry- I don't get it. But yes, local education and efforts are of crucial importance.
