Brava to Kay Bedford for her sensible and accurate _RRT_ letter of 28 April.
There are tons of hard, scientific evidence – not Chicken-Littlewhimpers or raving – that enormous climate changes were common millionsof years before anything like a human being escaped from the mud.
Around 2007 a former Chief of the National Weather Hydrology Lab in Silver Spring, MD told me, "Water vapor = clouds is the most important greenhouse gas, but we're still unable to measure the effect on global temperature of a given quantity of atmospheric water vapor." Naturally, they couldn't do it for carbon dioxide, either, and if this inability has been removed in the intervening years, it's been kept a great secret; all we've been handed are assumptions and what, in academic circles, we used to call WAGS = Wild -*** guesses.
Mrs. Bedford is correct, too, that the purpose of the climate hullabaloo is to redesign society, but she could have added "and to give government greater control over our lives."
On Easter, 4 April, we received a friend's email telling us that our Christmas card had just arrived there. True, one forwarding had been required, but we're talking Florida and Michigan, not Outer Mongolia and Togo. I don't believe government needs any more control over us.
