We can see with our own eyes that climate change is going into overdrive. Floods and wildfires. I don’t need to list the many effects. And most of us thought that things were looking up, now that Biden is talking about actually doing something about greenhouse gases, but I’m afraid we were wrong. Fossil fuel lobbyists are poised to block climate action by threatening and bribing politicians in Washington. And why shouldn’t they? Our government gives them $15 billion worth of fossil fuel subsidies every year. We can call our senators and representatives and tell them to end all fossil fuel subsidies. ~ Richard Thomas, Waterville
