Editor,
Lately there have been a several letters to the Daily Journal, back and forth, pros and cons, regarding climate change. The climate change activists claim the science of climate change is “settled” and the facts are unchallengeable. Thus, they must silence the voice of climate change skeptics; they accuse them of spreading “disinformation.” They label them “science deniers.”
But the science of anything is rarely ever settled. Doesn’t “science” mean, in its essence, to keep an open mind to new data and to new theories, and to relentlessly question “settled” dogma? And therein lies the crucial difference between the two sides: Climate activists refuse to open their minds to new data, new theories, and new ideas or to question existing doctrine. Climate skeptics want to explore new data, theories and ideas and put to the test existing dogma. Now let us ask this question: Which side in the debate, are the true “science deniers?”

You hit the nail on the head! While our climate is warming some, there is no proof that it is catastrophic in nature. But even if it was, Harvard University has shown how the earth could be cooled with aerosols very inexpensively until green energy advances to the point where it is economical enough to drive out more expensive fossil fuels. Also man very likely to develop emission less fusion energy in 50 years.
👏 Thank God for people like you Mr. Abramson. Well said.
Well written, Mr. Abramson. Instead of trying to convince folks into believing in global warming, these activists should tell us what activities they’re actively taking part in in saving the Earth. Let’s hope they’re not imitating COP conference attendees and lecturing us to save the Earth while they’re emitting more than their share of carbon.
