The recent (Feb. 29) Bangor Daily News editorial concerning the winter sports events in Maine being canceled for lack of winter conditions is extremely germane. Climate-warming impacts on all we hold dear demand our attention.
Humans are, at this moment in human history, demonstrating the proverbial frog-in-the-cauldron behavior: It appears likely that we won’t have the gumption to get out of that cauldron in time to avert our conversion into a stew.
Thank you, BDN, for your efforts to inspire your readership to take constructive action on this climate crisis! Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King, and Rep. Jared Golden, should take notice: Climate is a Maine priority!
