Dear Editor:
Re: Carbon tax required, May 6.
Ron Moore’s support for an ever-increasing carbon tax appears to be based on his fear of a “looming climate catastrophe” that requires us to “stop burning fossil fuels”.
Based on books and other literature I have read, I believe that fear is unfounded.
Life expectancy and human wellbeing have never been higher. Fossil fuels have allowed the population to increase even as the wellbeing of the average person has improved.
I don’t expect to convince Mr. Moore, but just want others to know that there are plenty of highly respected scientists and other experts who don’t buy into his alarmist views that are also promoted by much of the mainstream media, which censors contrary views.
