Kudos to our students for speaking out, and to our state Legislature for listening to the general public’s concerns about climate variation (“Guv signs teens’ climate change impact resolution,” May 21).
Independent studies have demonstrated that imposing a fee on carbon production with the revenue returned directly to the consumers will not only mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate variation, it will help clean our air, improve public health, create jobs and benefit our overall economy.
Let us hope this message of positive change by working together gets passed up the food chain to our representatives in Congress.
