MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 15, 2022
At least three dangerous, looming tipping points have obvious close connections to Maine: melting ice sheets; weakening water circulation in the Atlantic Ocean, and Northern forest destruction by bark beetles, heat and fire. We need a new climate psychology that inspires political will and more robust action. Climate solutions will work in Maine and beyond when people in all sectors deploy their agency to create the best possible futures. ~ Thomas S. Bateman, professor emeritus of and researcher in psychology in the domain of climate change, Rockport
