CLIMATE CHANGE: Failure to believe is driving crisis

| February 16, 2024 1:00 AM

In Sunday’s paper there were two interesting publications regarding climate change. One was a letter to the editor claiming ice growing was proof there is no climate change, and the second was two pages detailing how “climate change is fueling the disappearance of the Aral Sea.” The second piece explained the impact climate change has had on a community in Uzbekistan.

I wish I could turn a blind eye to the evidence and facts that man, all of us, have contributed to the destruction of the very Earth we depend on to survive, but if I do, I’m part of the problem, not the solution. Plastic, an oil-based product, is choking our oceans, which in turn is destroying the animal and plant life we need. Deforestation is depleting our air supply, lessening the moisture in the air, causing droughts, eroding the land, destroying more animal and plant life. Fossil Fuel and chemical burning is polluting the air.
