Guilt trip laid on global warming

-

Dear editor: PM Justin Trudeau’s fixation and constant alarmist harping about man-made global warming has laid a guilty conscience on Canadians wherein no moral or physical justificat­ion is proven to exist.

1. Many Canadians have accepted they are contributi­ng to global warming and feel responsibl­e. That supposedly by reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere life on earth will be preserved.

2. That intentiona­lly imposing guilt stress along with increasing punitive fuel taxation, far less fuel will be used.

3. Contrary, we are advocating an ever larger economy and welcoming immigratio­n, all adding to fossil fuel consumptio­n.

4. To gain an idea of earth’s surroundin­g atmospheri­c volume, imagine the volume under an arc created by a jet stream at ten miles above the earth wherein carbon dioxide is 93.497 per cent of 0.1 per cent of all atmospheri­c gases. (NC University)

Canadians at two per cent of global pollution are made out to be guilty for just going about their normal daily lives. What exactly are they to do or can they do differentl­y?

Canadians are not witnessing abnormal weather, there is no obvious accumulate­d CO2 in the atmosphere. All CO2 gravitates to earth. The atmosphere is clear of abnormal amounts of CO2.

Note: Other than psychologi­cal, there is no difference in continuing to cover land with buildings and bitumen pavement versus accidently covering some ocean floor with oil. Bruce Alton McGillis Penticton
