Ironically, this letter was placed directly above and adjacent to a column by Robert Samuelson discussing the recent international conference in Paris on global warming. He wrote, “Nearly 200 countries committed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius from preindustrial time was reaffirmed.” He further goes on to point out that even if every country did meet its goals, which would be extremely difficult, this would likely be insufficient to limit the warming to 2 degrees Celsius.

With all of the coverage regarding the participation of so many countries acknowledging the significance of global warming, the contribution of humans and the drastic changes in the future environment unless action is taken by the entire world, I cannot understand how anyone could feel that the global warming issue is dying. It seems to me that the issue of global warming deniers is dying.

Just as regarding chemtrails, I find it better to not ever argue the issue with the believers, as they can generally be categorized with those who do not want to be confused with the facts because their minds are made up.
