Dear Editor:
You have published a number of rather fear-filled letters concerning crisis climate change in the past few months and have had no push back, till now.
The media fills its pages with endless stories of literally every weather event being the result of crisis climate change.
Canada has a lot of forest fires this year but most are suspected to be the result of arson and lightning. Is arson crisis climate change? But the media blames all the fires on crisis climate change and so we must pay more and more taxes to stop it.
Canadians are now on the hook for 32 billion dollars in tax subsidies to electric battery manufacturers. That should solve the problem, right?
It can’t.
Temperature rises before CO2 does and there is an 800-year lag in seeing the change.
What happened 800 years ago? The little ice age ended and the earth began to warm again on its continuing cycle of cooling and heating. What’s to fear? Nature does what nature does. And, cold weather kills more people than hot weather does. And, CO2 is literally necessary for life to continue on earth as it is plant food and we and the animals eat plants.
Meanwhile, the so-called experts at the UN have worked themselves up into a lather and are now saying the earth is “boiling.” Doesn’t look that way to me. In fact my tomatoes refuse to ripen because of lack of heat.
Jane Vandervliet,
