Smart climate bills await Legislature's action
By Suzanne Levy
As a retired science teacher, I appreciate the wise words of student Jasmine Wynn in her commentary "Here's a chance to protect New York for the next generation," March 9, who urges the passage of essential climate bills in our Legislature. As she notes, it is so disappointing that New York has passed no significant climate bills for a few years.
While the United Nations issues severe climate warnings on a regular basis, many people ignore these messages. Some legislators shrug. Fossil fuel companies serve up a plethora of misinformation to further muddle the situation. So many of us feel sad and discouraged.
