PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 14, 2024
Mention of climate change in the Press Herald is usually preceded by the words “may,” “could” or “might.” Every one of those mentions is negative about the future effect of climate change in the world and Maine. The examples of the positive benefit of climate change on Maine are countless. Mainers saved millions on heating bills and drastically reduced Maine’s carbon emissions and pollutions this year. At the same time, municipalities saved millions on reduced salt use and the pollution it causes. ~ George Bentley, Kennebunkport
