Letter: Climate change should inform your vote

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • June 30, 2024

It is important that governments protect us from the horrifying and costly effects of our warming climate and make storm relief available to Maine residents as quickly as possible after an extreme event. More important, all levels of government must concede that climate action is urgently needed to halt the cause of global warming and move as quickly as possible to aid the transition to clean energy. Most important is passage of effective, federal climate legislation that halts the continuing rise in global average temperatures: an economywide plan to phase out the burning of fossil fuels. Be an informed voter. ~ Dorothy Jones, Brunswick
