MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 6, 2020
The Maine Climate Council is currently accepting comments on a draft Climate Action Plan. It may be that the highest-leveraged action would be simply to speak up for carbon pricing. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has made it clear that the most effective first step for countries to control climate change is to price carbon. Markets are much more powerful than regulations in creating change. Citizens Climate Lobby would like the Climate Council to co-sign a resolution, with the Legislature and governor, and present it to our members of Congress. ~ Wes Tator, Kittery
