Letter: Don’t let oil companies off the hook

The BDN’s Josh Keefe wrote “Today’s Maine child will see a different state as climate warms” about a bleak future. Already climate scientists have been shocked by the rapidity of climate degradation and the climate related injustices like effects on children’s respiratory health, agricultural workers, biodiversity, mental health and family farms. Big oil needs to be held accountable for their fair share of taxes and for covering up their crimes. They should pay for our climate adaptation and climate mitigation. Stop enabling them, and start by cutting subsidies. ~ Haydee Foreman, Blue Hill
