Response to Gagnon column

To the Editor;
Matt Gagnon speaks for climate change skeptics in his column. His argument points more to the fact that he and his fellow skeptics are basing their knowledge on climate outliers’ articles from nearly a half century ago than the way things are now. Things have changed. Even in the 1970s, articles ran 6 to 1 for global warming over cooling. Since then, we have nearly doubled global population, added millions of vehicles on the road and waters, and live much more consumptive lifestyles around the world.

It’s time for Gagnon to update his argument and to make sweeping changes — unless he has a time machine that can take him back to the 1970s.
