New report on fishermens perceptions of climate change in Maine and Massachusetts shows that most of them see climate change happening and believe it will have increasingly serious economic consequences for their industry: Fishermen are already taking the hit for society’s insistence on continuing to burn fossil fuels. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases is as much an economic imperative as it is a social or environmental one. While lobster, shrimp, cod, black sea bass, and other fish species have the liberty of simply shifting their locations to find a suitable climate, New England’s fishermen do not, and neither do the rest of us who call this planet home.
