To the editor,
Re: U.S. climate accord rejection ignorant, June 20.
I recently explained to my two elementary children the relationship between science and science fiction and the importance of such, and how today’s science fiction is often tomorrow’s science fact. We’re studying Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but we could just as easily be studying David Suzuki’s Trump-bashing, climate change delusions, and how science fiction with a political agenda may never be proven science fact but by misinformation to the ignorant masses, can still impact the world.
Suzuki’s personal carbon footprint over decades of left-leaning propaganda straying far from his overgeneralizing Nature of Things roots on VHS can be measured with greater accuracy than his fear-mongering, partisan predictions. Of course the climate is changing. It does that. Of course ‘man’ has impacted in measurable ways. We do that. Ants build anthills. We build nations. And of course we should all clean up our acts.
And yes, Trump would like Suzuki to recognize no one should be bullied into quotas and deadlines while the world’s largest polluters (China, India and a bevy of third world newcomers to the great marketplace) get a free polluting ride on the U.S. taxpayer tab.
Suzuki knows that Kyoto and Paris were unrealistic, unreasonable demands by deep state globalists bent on shutting down the energy/industry self-sufficiency of the U.S.
