Editor,
Thank you, San Mateo Journal, for having the courageous fairness to publish the bi-weekly column by Matt Grocott. Your paper has honored the most crucial “diversity” of all: the diversity of thought. While he has many angry, vociferous detractors, Matt Grocott also gives voice to the values of many (though often silent) readers of this paper.
In his latest opinion piece, “My Beef with Terry,” Matt courageously offers an opposing opinion to the pervasive climate change doctrines. And to this issue, allow me to add one more question: The global warming activists have already taken away, or plan to take away our light bulbs, our gas stoves, our electric fans, our gasoline powered cars and trucks, among other things. Why don’t we ever hear these “Warriors for Global Warming” demand the abolishment of private jets? Could it be that the elimination of that transportation modality for elitists like Jane Fonda, Leonard DiCaprio, John Kerry, Al Gore and their ilk, would be … a rather “Inconvenient Truth?”

Reminds me of the people who didn't want mandatory seat belts or smoking restrictions or polio vaccines. I thank the rigid process.of science every day for my life and safety.
HFAB: If it weren’t for the serious ramifications, it is almost funny that those who know the least about science, often have the strongest voice, - even on this site. Just wait and see more of it!
Yes HFAB, the same reliance on science, aka Fauci's folly, that pushed our country and a lot of the world needlessly into the COVID disaster. Rigid?
Dirk: Right-wing "red" counties had higher death rates during the Covid pandemic than more left-wing "blue" counties. Overall, the death rate in the US far exceeded those of comparable countries!
Death rate of Republican voters was 15% higher than that of Democrats. The gap widened further once COVID-19 vaccines were introduced. What an inconvenient little piece of truth!
Jorg - thank you for proving my point. Fauci declared himself as 'science', yet his daily exhortations resulted in a higher death rate based on "science" than in other comparable countries, as you stated. Hence my response to HFAB.
Yes, Dirk! Higher death rates here than in other comparable countries, exactly because Republicans didn’t follow Fauci’s advice, and instead listened to Trump and other science flunkies. Get it?
HFAB, it would probably make a difference if your rigid process of science were followed in all cases, instead of through emotion. You know, like the wearing of masks that don’t work against COVID, or mandating COVID “vaccines” that don’t vaccinate. Now how about taking a gander at answering a question or two from Mr. Abramson. Or are they an “Inconvenient Truth” for you, as well?
Hi, Terence
Remember when we had to wait for the science to say it was OK to open our schools? Funny how the science said it was OK as soon as the teacher unions leadership was finished holding families hostage while pushing their political agenda forward.
Some of my grandchildren attend a Catholic parochial school which was also closed during Newsom's terror campaign. Funny, when the emergency funding stopped the school suddenly opened up again albeit with masks and silly Zoom classes. Science is probably the most tortured term these days. It makes me laugh when non-scientists accuse other non-scientists of not believing in the duplicitous stream of nonsense coming from so-called science-based organizations.
Thanks, Scott, for taking the time to write an LTE.
I enjoy reading Matt's columns... and I enjoy reading Craig's columns. A while back some of Matt's detractors urged the DJ to stop publishing Matt's columns. If you don't like what Matt is writing... or for that matter what Craig is writing... skip those columns. Move on. The alternative is to submit a rebuttal and that is OK, too.
