We just had the hottest June on record followed by the rainiest July in parts of Maine, with several days of smoky skies from a record-breaking fire season out West. The recent floods in the South and along the Mid-Atlantic coast make it all the more clear: we must act on climate now. It is past time for Congress to take serious action on climate change, and the federal budget bill could be the turning point we need. I hope our congressional delegation will work to pass it without delay. ~ Bud Farwell, Ellsworth
