Kudos to the editorial board of the Press Herald for its June 9 spot-on analysis of the urgent need for political action on climate change.
Maine has exemplary representation in Congress in Sens. Collins and King, and they need our support to push for carbon pricing that makes the polluters pay, and gives money back to ordinary Americans.
The editors are so right — climate change is the biggest threat to our national security, and we should call out the Democrats and Republicans who make excuses for their climate inaction by trying to scare us (again) with China and Russia.
The time to act was yesterday. Every day we delay is a day closer to irreversible damage. Calmly but unwaveringly, we must insist that from Maine to Washington, our approach to climate change needs major shifts — immediately.
