Letter to the editor: Climate change

  • Updated

To the editor: I believe, I believe! I believe in climate change! I’m a true believer and absolutely convinced the climate is changing…..just as it has constantly for the three or four billion years the earth has revolved around the sun (which, by the way, affects our climate much more dramatically than anything mere humans are capable of). So how ignorant is it to talk about climate change as something new? The Ice Age was just 10,000 years ago (a mere wink of an eye geologically speaking). And if that’s too remote for you, the Little Ice Age ended less than 200 years ago, and was preceded by an extended period of (drum roll here) global warming.
