Out of our control

DO SCIENTISTS want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by stopping temperatures rising and maintaining them at their current level? If we did, then wouldn’t the ice caps continue to melt and the sea levels continue to rise at the same rate as now?

It has taken 200 years since the Industrial Revolution to reach this point, so will it take another 200 years to reduce it?

There is a belief we can exert control over our climate and change it for the better. Dream on!

There is nothing wrong about making the planet cleaner, more sustainable and environmentally friendly, but don’t tell me we can beat climate change.

Instead of committing economic suicide trying to control the greatest natural force on Earth, we should prepare our infrastructure to survive it. The climate is going to get worse before it gets better. S. CONSTANTINE, Sevenoaks, Kent.
