Encouragingly, President-elect Biden understands people of any party can and do care about climate change. Our leaders in Maine are signaling readiness to work on climate change, too. On Dec. 1, the Maine Climate Council rolled out their “Maine Won’t Wait! Four-Year Climate Action Plan.” The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found that 54 percent of Americans are either “alarmed” or “concerned” about climate change. In Maine, 69 percent of our community believes global warming is happening. An efficient, effective climate policy in Congress should include a carbon fee based on greenhouse gas emissions caused by all oil, gas and coal. ~ Mark Reynolds et al, Citizens Climate Lobby
