As this year nears its end, it’s a good time to reflect on the articles about climate change that have been published during the past year in this Climate Matters column. The Westfield News began to publish this monthly column a year ago to give a voice to local citizens who care about climate change. The column has provided an invaluable service to area readers opening opportunities in our area to discuss one of the most challenging issues the world faces today. The guest columnists have raised our awareness of the historical background of this problem, suggested ways to address it, described legislation designed to mitigate its affects, and shown us how to sharpen our personal awareness and connection with our environment.
