Mayewski quoted in BDN editorial on climate change
Paul Mayewski, director of the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, was quoted in the Bangor Daily News editorial, “Why we should be hopeful about the Paris climate pact.” The climate accord reached this month in Paris sets an international goal of limiting the increase of the global average temperature, but the accord doesn’t set a specific path for achieving that goal, according to the article. “The world has the mandate,” Mayewski said. “Without that giant political mandate, in many ways, people felt, which way should we go?”
