Dear Editor:
Monday I was sitting with my nephew and we were discussing the weather. I mentioned how I didn't like the warm weather in February and he asked me why, because he loved it. My response was, because the Climate Alarmists will flood the Opinion Section complaining about it.
Tuesday I opened the paper and right on cue there it was a LTE on Climate Change. After reading the letter I have to admit I am very thankful Trump is president. Some of the assertions in the letter were the same unsubstantiated claims we've been reading for awhile. She states a list of conditions that are supposedly enhanced by global warming. That list however is incorrect as wild fires since 1950 have decreased globally by 15 percent and expected to decline well into the next century. The world has seen little changes in droughts in 60 years and storms aren't any worse. The ice sheet in Antarctica isn't going to "fall" into the ocean because it's already in the ocean and the scientist studying it say it wasn't caused by climate change.
A whistleblower reported that NOAA breached its own rules on scientific integrity and published a flawed report, aimed at making an impact on world leaders at the UN climate conference in Paris. Which led to the Paris Agreement. Even if combined with the Clean Power plan would, even if kept till the next century, only save 0.3 of a degree and would cost $100 trillion. She also mentions the Oregon kid's lawsuit. A report states that the grandfather and acting plaintiff of one of the girls is the former head of NASA. Who has been accused of violating ethics by accepting $1.6 million in gifts and payments for his green activism while heading NASA. Doesn't quite look so much as a bunch of concerned kids acting on their own anymore.
Now whistleblowers are reporting that NASA was cherry-picking data and only using the measurements made by ships which are notorious for running hot instead of those by buoys which are far more accurate. Another report showed that NASA and NOAA were reporting fake data in their land maps showing record high temperatures in areas that had no measuring devices while satellites for those regions showed normal temperatures. It's time we investigate these frauds.
I trust Trump to get us going in the right direction.
