Letter: We must embrace climate urgency

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 19, 2024

Climate change is the biggest threat to our national security, and we should call out the Democrats and Republicans who make excuses for their climate inaction by trying to scare us (again) with China and Russia. The time to act was yesterday. Every day we delay is a day closer to irreversible damage. Calmly but unwaveringly, we must insist that from Maine to Washington, our approach to climate change needs major shifts — immediately. ~ Bill Beckett, Watertown, Mass.
