Letter: Ordinary citizens at mercy of climate change

MORNING SENTINEL • January 21, 2024

Between tornadoes, mass flooding, and massive rainfalls, the ordinary citizen is at the mercy of climate change. The fossil fuel industries and the government of developed countries around the world have known about the effects of CO2 on the environment since 1950s. Yet they behave in a short-sighted manner for greed and power at the expense of the citizens throughout the world and planet Earth. Populations of animals will go extinct because they cannot adapt to the rapidly changing environment. Please vote for candidates in this coming election who have the backbone and courage to stand up and make legislation to save our planet and the future of our children. ~ Susan Surabian, Skowhegan
