Building a better world

Editor,

I was moved by Ricki McGlashan’s letter on the most pressing issues of our time: climate change and nuclear weapons.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Jones. However, when folks take 400+ private planes and who knows how many planes, trains, and automobiles to attend a climate conference to lecture everyone on the evils of carbon emissions while these participants emit carbon to their hearts’ desires, the climate change message is lost. Apparently, it is acceptable even to those who think man-made climate change is real, to only talk the talk about climate change while doing nothing to walk the walk. Even Bill Gates, once a proponent that climate change was an existential threat, has now walked back his claim. It’s not surprising because again, he only talked the talk while jetting around in his private plane to countries around the globe. I wish you good luck but I’d be interested in what you and Ms. McGlashan have done to reduce your carbon emissions.
