At the moment, humanity is dooming itself to a future when a world ravaged by climate change and stricken by natural disasters will be the reality, due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels. I go to King Middle School in Portland. Here we have been learning about climate change. I have come to the conclusion that Maine needs to focus on renewable energy infrastructure. We need to keep leaders in power in Maine — in the Legislature, the governor’s office and other local positions — accountable to the current climate plan, “Maine won’t wait.” We may also need to pressure those same officials if more than the current climate plan is necessary. ~ Emmett Fay-LeBlanc, Portland
