In an April 9 letter to the editor, a professor emeritus, in his defense of man-caused climate change, writes that certain aspects of science do not change. They are facts. He writes, “That humans have oxidized large amounts of coal and oil and carbon dioxide was given off and that has increased atmospheric temperature are facts. Our minds are not closed, they are able to recognize facts.”

As a mere layman, I cannot use the big words he uses, but he surely must agree that the same science he defends, likewise, solidly confirms the Ice Age melted vast amounts of ice and caused extreme “climate change” thousands of years prior to the existence of billions of humans, many of whom burn coal, oil, etc. Where did that climate change come from? How, pray tell, does science explain this fact of science?

It seems to me that if those who vociferously defend “man-caused” climate change would, at the least, admit that a large degree of this was taking place long before cars and people as well as factories, etc. they would win more “converts” to their “religion” of climate change and its politics!

Wouldn’t this be more of an honest approach?
