High time we accept facts

Sir, – So, Angela Rennie, you don’t think that more than seven billion humans can change the weather?

Your comments about the ozone layer expose your lack of knowledge of the subject.

We humans were unknowingly destroying the ozone layer with CFC chemicals used mainly in the refrigeration and dry cleaning industry.

It took years to prove and get a world agreement to stop CFC use and begin to reverse the damage.

World pollution by plastics, chemicals, massive deforestation etc, due to human activity, have never been higher.

Burning billions of tons of fossil fuel releases 21.3 billion tonnes of CO2 per year and this has changed much faster than the ancient historic norms.

The result is that half the CO2 is naturally absorbed and the rest is accumulating in our atmosphere every year.

It is now widely accepted by world wide scientists using modern technology that our planet is warming rapidly due to this process, causing rising sea levels and increasingly severe weather events.

It’s almost midnight and you still choose to ignore the latest hard scientific facts.

As individuals we can’t begin to solve this problem unless we accept it exists.

Indeed, several GPs who had been working in the midnight OOH service in St Andrews have subsequently trained for and transferred to the OOH service in Dundee, and so are now wholly lost to Fife.

This means that re-opening the midnight OOH service will be that much harder, as will keeping open the rest of the OOH service which Fife Health and Social Care Partnership also wants to close.

An emergency, contingency closure of part of a service occurred without consultation and made keeping the whole service open less feasible. Then the permanent closure of the whole service was proposed on the grounds that keeping it open wasn’t feasible so it couldn’t feature as an option in the statutory consultation.

Anyone smell a rat here, or just sheer incompetence?

I am a very old lady now but still remember the pleasure I had when passing some workmen taking their break one summer day many years ago. I had made myself a new dress and these workmen whistled at me

Magical is the only word to describe the feelings of five Dundee children who flew to France to join the guests for Mickey Mouse’s Worldwide Kids’ Party at Euro Disney. With several thousand other deserving youngsters from all over Europe, the children flew to Paris to take part in what must rank as the biggest 65th birthday party ever staged. To celebrate the birthday of the world’s favourite rodent, Disney cast its spell over 6,500 smiling faces, as the children enjoyed the holiday of a lifetime.
