Thank you for your ongoing coverage of the climate crisis, for consistently reporting on action — or inaction — at local, state, national and international levels.
In the Dec. 5 paper alone, readers got a story by Greta Jochem on Northampton’s draft climate plan, an Associated Press article on U.S. inconsistency in climate negotiations, another AP article on the tuk-tuks of Cairo, and a report from the Los Angeles Times on the link between atmospheric rivers and increasingly intense West Coast floods.
Plus, Marty Nathan’s column “Will we sleepwalk past the point of no return?” The Gazette is not sleepwalking, and for that, I thank you. In the face of the climate crisis, everyone’s first responsibility is to get the facts. We’ve got to educate ourselves about what climate change has done, is doing, and might do, and learn what we can and must do to stop it.
If we are not well-informed, how can we make good choices about how best to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our community, our country, our planet?
