THE CLIMATE COMMON SERIES
Interviews bringing fresh perspectives to the climate conversation in Maine
The Climate Common Series was started to diversify and expand the conversation about climate change in Maine.
Dealing with climate change is going to take everyone. We need a larger force. Not a divided citizenry. And the best way to do that is to get new voices participating in, and leading, the conversation.
That’s what The Climate Common is all about.
– John Hagan

EPISODE 1: “Undaunted Courage”
George, Executive Director of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine at the time, represented with beguiling charm the interests of hunters and anglers. Lo these many decades later, I thought George might give me some insight into how the generally conservative sportsman’s community viewed climate change. He agreed to meet. But I got more than I ever imagined.
