CENTRAL MAINE • December 5, 2024
I see little evidence our population has any idea how pressing and dangerous global warming is or how urgent our efforts to arrest and hopefully reverse climate change must be. We must — all of us must — wake up and take personal and societal actions as humans have never done before. World climate is on the brink of rapid and destructive change. Failure to take every possible climate action will force billions living in mid-latitudes to starve, die of heat, or move. We humans have put our world at the brink of disaster in a mere four generations. We have less than one generation to save ourselves. That saving will come with massive employment opportunities and a cleaner world for future generations. ~ Phillip Davis, West Gardiner
