My message to the leaders who were at COP 28, the recent United Nations climate change conference: The time has come for you to do something. While the world burns, you do what you do best. Private jets, caviar, champagne — while us commoners will soon need to move, or literally starve and die. If those who are meant to lead us, lack the vision necessary to solve the hugely complex and severely consequential challenges we face, they must step aside — for those who can. ~ Carl Altomare, Machiasport
