Some people won't believe in it until they melt.
I read that Joe Soucheray doesn't believe in this global warming glop ("I already do my part, and I don't even believe in this stuff," July 30). He may not have heard, but this isn't a matter of debate any more. He doesn't believe it's happening, but people who understand the science know it's happening and why it's happening.
Many people don't realize how much we do know. Some people believe there is "real" controversy around this issue. What is desperately needed is to inform the public. A quality newspaper should be doing that. This has been supported on your news pages.
For a prominent columnist to cast doubt on science that is well understood is irresponsible. Especially when the stakes are so high. I suppose Soucheray thinks that scientists may not have thought about the naturally occurring statistical variations in the earth's temperature. Come on, Joe. Where is the garage logic?
