Letter: Changing climate demands congressional cooperation

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 3, 2023

Americans concerned about the rapidly changing climate have a fervent hope that serious problem solvers on both sides of the aisle in Congress will return their attention to the unfolding existential crisis and pass legislation that will effectively address it. Among other things, this means approving bills that will accelerate reduction of our nation’s greenhouse-gas emissions. There is no time like the present to again press for – and this time pass legislation that would significantly reduce carbon emissions at the expense of fossil fuel corporations, and not of ordinary citizens. ~ Tom Berry, Kennebunk
