Dear Editor
Re: Scientists respond to Gore’s warnings of climate catastrophe
I applaud your article for showing a seemingly majority’s viewpoint on climate change (amongst experts in their field), where Gore’s views support a group of non-specialists in the field he chooses to present as experts. I think if we really want to make changes in our world, it takes much more than we are willing to give. I don’t think we’re hurting the planet as much as we’d like to take credit for; for example, the ice-caps\glaciers melting continues to be a sordid mess of data based on empirical research of such a small amount that the whole goes unresearched while the few (maybe 1%) of glaciers have had more than five years of collective data comprised. The computer models built from this research show ‘predictions’ of what’s going to happen, but they don’t have reality as a function?
