Help Launch the New Rainbow Warrior!

My Letter on Climate Change Touches a Nerve!

Below are some of the comments which my letter "Ditches Not Enough,' generated when published in the Winnipeg Free Press.


    •    "'reducing your carbon footprint' nonsense.What a ridiculous belief."
    •    "'Fixing the climate' is a tomorrow problem. We neither caused climate change nor do we have the means/know-how to correct it."

Please go to the link, above, or this one and add your own comment, "like" or "dislike" them, OR write a letter of your own. OR use the comment link on this post, below! Thanks!
Let's get a dialogue going!  l.p.
