The Jerusalem Post

Has doubts about global warming

-

The hatchet job “Why Israel should not be extolling President Trump” (Observatio­ns, January 12) starts by using pseudo-science to try to show that US President Donald Trump is an ignoramus in denying global warming when there supposedly is an overwhelmi­ng consensus that it exists – otherwise, why would the Sea of Galilee be at a 100-year low?

I’m sorry, but I remember that some global warming reports originally showed no problems but were then “adjusted” before being issued to ensure continuing funds for research into the “problem.”

If the Sea of Galilee is now as low as it was 100 years ago, what caused it to be so low back then? And to claim that global warming must be true because 195 nations signed the 2015 Paris accord clearly shows author Richard H. Schwartz’s American background – no native-born Israeli would dare claim that the number of states voting for a resolution proves anything.

Maybe there were some truths buried in the piece, but any political manifesto has them.

I agree that President Trump is not politicall­y correct – but he’s right. BOB KNIGHT Modi’in
