Dedication: A Lie
Dedication. In the front of the book, Carson dedicates Silent Spring as follows: "To Albert Schweitzer who said ‘Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the Earth.'"
This appears to indicate that the great man opposed the use of insecticides.
However, in his autobiography Schweitzer writes, on page 262: [b]"How much labor and waste of time these wicked insects do cause us ... but a ray of hope, in the use of DDT, is now held out to us."[/b]
It is clear that Schweitzer was worried about nuclear warfare, not about the hazards from DDT!
That was in several blogs last week and I thought it was a great tip.
54 degrees matches low set in 1993
KAHULUI -- A chilly 54 degree low temperature early Sunday matched a record for Kahului Airport on Feb. 4, but even another cool night probably won't set any records today, according to the National Wea-ther Service.
It could come close.
The record for Feb. 5 is 50 degrees, set in 1973. The record for Feb. 4 is 54 established Sunday and in 1993.
The low temperatures through the weekend were a result of a high-pressure ridge that settled over the islands, bringing clear skies and light, variable winds.
Clear skies allow any heat to radiate from the land, while light winds allow cold upper-elevation air to drain down the slopes of Halea-kala.
Elsewhere in the county, Lanai and Molokai recorded early-morning lows of 53 degrees. Daytime temperatures didn't rise much, with a high of 77 recorded Sunday at Kahului and Molokai, and Lanai getting up to 72.
