PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 5, 2020
Climate change is still altering the landscape here, and unless more is done to stop it and mitigate its impact, climate change will continue to introduce new challenges to the way of life in Maine, while wreaking absolute havoc in other parts of the world. Poor leadership on climate change has wasted a lot of precious time. When we need to be reducing carbon emissions, President Trump has instead rolled back numerous environmental protections. Recently he said, against all scientific fact and consensus, that the climate would “start getting cooler” again. We cannot waste anymore time on denial.
