The president and his wife, Mary Todd, had four sons.Three died young. “Eddie” (Edward Baker) Lincoln, bornin 1846, died at 3 years old in 1850. “Willie” (WilliamWallace) was born in 1850 and died in 1862 at the age of11. Son Thomas, called “Tad,” was born in 1853 and diedat 18 in 1871. But their first-born son, Robert Todd, wasborn in 1843 and lived until 1926, passing at the age of 82.2. President Lincoln was the tallest president. He was 6feet, 4 inches tall.3. Lincoln’s birthday is Feb. 12, 1809.4. President Lincoln did not smoke and rarely drank alcohol.He drank water with meals.Try some of President Lincoln’s favorite foods onPresident’s Day. One of his favorites was apples. He held anapple with his thumb and forefinger, and ate it from thebottom. Some say he also liked chicken fricassee with biscuits,and most reports say he enjoyed oyster stew. MaryTodd Lincoln used “Miss Leslie’s Complete Cookery”cookbook that is still available at bookstores today.***Q: Any guides for surviving asbestos contamination forcollectors? Collector friends just had a roof collapse andtheir crowded house is contaminated. What can be saved?A: Collectors have special problems. All upholstered furniture,textiles, clothing, medicine, food and more probablymust go. Furniture can be reupholstered if the frameis valuable. Ceramics, glass, jewelry, bronzes and otherhard-surface items probably can be cleaned but thatrequires special protective gear and instructions to avoidcontact with dust. Dolls, most toys, paintings, photographs,books and everything paper may be contaminated.The government and other sites online give detailedinstructions. Search for specialized advice from collectorclubs, blogs and government agencies. Don’t try to do thisalone. The dust is almost invisible and will be stirred up ifnot properly removed. Store all the “safe” collectibles offsiteuntil you know what to save. You can’t replace memories,but you can find more collectibles.***Q: Is there an easy way to spot a reproduction Booz cabinbottle? I know a lot were made.A: Look at the raised word “WHISKEY” on the side of thebottle. On original Booz bottles, the top fork of the letterK is wider than the bottom fork. On most repros, the bottomfork is wider.***CURRENT PRICESBeer bottle, Kuntz Lager, labeled, 1920s, 9 1/4 inches,$85.Telephone, Northern Electric, oak, rotary dial, handset,22 x 8 inches, $160.Blanket chest, oak, rectangular lift top, 4 panels, stylizedflowers, geometric borders, 28 x 54 inches, $340.Chandelier, 6-light, roses, leaves, wrought metal, continental,c. 1925, 28 x 26 inches, $480.***TIP: If you have a dusty, dirty book, try rubbing or blottingthe pages with a piece of white bread.For more collecting news, tips and resources, visit www.Kovels.com(c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc. .. . 35 ¢PER WORD$3.50 MIN.Per WeekPer Ad4 for 3SPECIALRun The SameClassified for3 Consecutive Weeks-Get 4th WeekFREE!(Any changes void free week)CLIP AND MAIL THIS HANDY FORM TODAYLINE RATE 1-3 Words Per Line $1.75/LINECAPITALIZATION:Capitalizing more than the first 2 words, etc. 70¢/WORDDEADLINE: For The WORLD is MONDAY by 10:00AMCANCELLATIONS: A classified ad cancelled before 10:00 AMon Monday will receive credit for the remaining paid weeks.The WORLD asks that you check your ad on its first publication.

Of course this saved on the wood pile and heatingbills but kept conditions for skiing and snowboarding and outdoorrecreational opportunities a little more so-so. Heating degree days werelower at 1305 normally around 1500 the coldest month of the year.Temperatures oscillated frequently with storm systems incomingbringing warm fluctuations in temperatures and departing storm bringcolder conditions. We did see one warm stretch that broke a record atthe E.F. Knapp Barre-Montpelier Airport reaching a balmy 60 degreeson the 11th. The freeze-thaws coupled with many precipitation typesincluding rain contributed to rather bumpy asphalt roads with frostheaves seen in January more like that of March. Typically some ofthe worst frost heaves are in the March to early April period while ofcourse, mud season kicks in sometimes late March and into full swingin April.There was below normal snowfall in January 2020 of just 22.5” at theBarre-Montpelier airport. However at 1375 ft. elevation in WorcesterVermont, 32.9” of snow was recorded. The coldest 2 days were midmonthon the 17th, 18th.Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2)…Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important heat-trapping (greenhouse)gas, which is released through human activities such as deforestationand burning fossil fuels, as well as natural processes such as respirationand volcanic eruptions. 413.40 parts per million (ppm) CO2 in theatmosphere February 5th, 2020 up from 410.83 ppm 1 year ago MaunaLoa Observatory.World Climate Notes….Last month January 2020 averaged 2.05 degrees Fahrenheit (1.14degrees Celsius) above the 20th century average, which surpassed theprevious January record set back in 2016 (+2.01 degrees Fahrenheit).The four warmest Januarys on record have occurred since 2016.This was also the warmest January on record for the Northern Hemisphereand the second-warmest January on record for the SouthernHemisphere.Records go back to 1880.Climate tipping points — too risky to bet againstThe growing threat of abrupt and irreversible climate changes mustcompel political and economic action on emissions.Credit Nature.com, Nov. 27, 2019Politicians, economists and even some natural scientists have tendedto assume that tipping points1 in the Earth system — such as the lossof the Amazon rainforest or the West Antarctic ice sheet — are of lowprobability and little understood. Yet evidence is mounting that theseevents could be more likely than was thought, have high impacts andare interconnected across different biophysical systems, potentiallycommitting the world to long-term irreversible changes.Here we summarize evidence on the threat of exceeding tippingpoints, identify knowledge gaps and suggest how these should beplugged. We explore the effects of such large-scale changes, howquickly they might unfold and whether we still have any control overthem. Nature.com, Nov. 27, 2019In our view, the consideration of tipping points helps to define thatwe are in a climate emergency and strengthens this year’s chorus ofcalls for urgent climate action — from schoolchildren to scientists,cities and countries.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) introducedthe idea of tipping points two decades ago. At that time, these‘large-scale discontinuities’ in the climate system were consideredlikely only if global warming exceeded 5°C above pre-industrial levels.Information summarized in the two most recent IPCC Special Reports(published in 2018 and in September this year)2,3 suggests that tippingpoints could be exceeded even between 1 and 2°C of warming (see‘Too close for comfort’).If current national pledges to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions areimplemented — and that’s a big ‘if ’ — they are likely to result in at least3°C of global warming. This is despite the goal of the 2015 Paris agreementto limit warming to well below 2°C. Some economists, assumingthat climate tipping points are of very low probability (even if theywould be catastrophic), have suggested that 3°C warming is optimalfrom a cost–benefit perspective. However, if tipping points are lookingmore likely, then the ‘optimal policy’ recommendation of simplecost–benefit climate-economy models4 aligns with those of the recentIPCC report2. In other words, warming must be limited to 1.5°C. Thisrequires an emergency response.Ice collapseWe think that several cryosphere tipping points are dangerouslyclose, but mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions could still slow downthe inevitable accumulation of impacts and help us to adapt.Research in the past decade has shown that the Amundsen Seaembayment of West Antarctica might have passed a tipping point3:the ‘grounding line’ where ice, ocean and bedrock meet is retreatingirreversibly. A model study shows5 that when this sector collapses, itcould destabilize the rest of the West Antarctic ice sheet like topplingdominoes — leading to about 3 meters of sea-level rise on a timescaleof centuries to millennia. Paleo-evidence shows that such widespreadcollapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet has occurred repeatedly in thepast.The latest data show that part of the East Antarctic ice sheet — theWilkes Basin — might be similarly unstable3. Modelling work suggeststhat it could add another 3–4m to sea level on timescales beyond acentury.The Greenland ice sheet is melting at an accelerating rate3. It couldadd a further 7m to sea level over thousands of years if it passes aparticular threshold. Beyond that, as the elevation of the ice sheet lowers,it melts further, exposing the surface to ever-warmer air. Modelssuggest that the Greenland ice sheet could be doomed at 1.5°C ofwarming3, which could happen as soon as 2030.Thus, we might already have committed future generations to livingwith sea-level rises of around 10m over thousands of years3. But thattimescale is still under our control. The rate of melting depends onthe magnitude of warming above the tipping point. At 1.5°C, it couldtake 10,000 years to unfold3; above 2°C it could take less than 1,000years6. Researchers need more observational data to establish whetherice sheets are reaching a tipping point, and require better models constrainedby past and present data to resolve how soon and how fast theice sheets could collapse.Whatever those data show, action must be taken to slow sea-levelrise. This will aid adaptation, including the eventual resettling of large,low-lying population centers.continued on page 31Since 1974SERVICES802-223-6577407 BARRE ST.
