We urge you to vote yes on the Climate Action Plan warrant article No. 14 at Town Meeting at 2 p.m. May 8. If you consider the climate-driven catastrophes looming during our probable life spans, you will understand why, especially for those of us in our 20s, climate change has become the defining issue of our lifetime. Unless we dramatically change course, climate change will inflict unfathomable violence on our environment and horrific suffering on our fellow human beings. Older folks shrink from trying to imagine it; younger people will live to see it firsthand.
