I was disappointed that “Maine may benefit from a warming Arctic, Angus King says” was the headline chosen about a conversation King had with students about the effects climate change will have on Maine (Feb. 5). The article itself states “there’s no question that the climate crisis that’s making it (ice free shipping lanes) possible offers far more downside than whatever gains it makes possible.” So to put emphasis on any alleged benefits is misleading and hurts efforts to raise awareness about the deadly seriousness of the climate crisis. ~ Adam Turner, Augusta
