Short & sweet
On climate
What a total relief to read a sensible and balanced article about climate change in the Herald this morning by Eve McCallum.
Sylvia Phillips, Rotorua.
How refreshing to see some common sense amongst all of the emotional drama of the last week. Alan Jones, Whangarei.
Wouldn’t it be nice to think that one day Jeremy Clarkson could grow to the mental age of Greta Thunberg instead of Peter Pan-ing his way through life?
Alan Thomas, Silverdale.
We all know the need to do what we can to save our planet, but it has become overemotive. Let the protesters think seriously about how they can serve the planet in a practical way. Jan McIlroy, Milford.
On cartoon
Guy Body funnily left out the most dangerous thin ice Trump skates, copying Trump’s detractors’ similar bias — climate change denials. Hilarious cartoon!
Brian John Evans, Mt Eden.
On pinching
In 1967, at the tender age of 17, I had my bottom pinched by an Italian waiter while on holiday. At the time I was highly delighted, but now wonder if I may have been suppressing the mental consequences of a serious sexual abuse for over 50 years. Cathy Moreland, Kerikeri.
On Ardern
Would the Vatican consider a sainthood for Jacinda? Keith Berman, Remuera.
On Asics
The Asics promotional video at their Shortland St store was very effective. I bought 12 pairs of shoes and can do nearly all their demonstrated stretching positions. Mark Lewis-Wilson, Mangonui.
