Irma, another example of what’s to come

LETTERS LETTERS@USATODAY.COM With Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane

Harvey and Hurricane Irma — plus the heat waves and wildfires in the Northwest — perhaps we’re creeping closer to convincing the climate change doubters that human behavior just may be the culprit. For those who believe in science, the needed data are already in. We can change what we do to this planet to stave off our impending bankruptcy by changing our fossil fuel consumption ways. We can move rapidly to renewable energy sources and head off catastrophe.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is reaching out to Republicans as well as Democrats on a one-toone basis in order to save our economy and more important our lives from the worst of this man-made madness. The best part is that we’ll actually save money in the process as fossil fuels are more expensive than the alternatives now. Mike Caggiano Citizens’ Climate Lobby

With Hurricane Irma blowing, part of the

strategy is knowing to stay out of her path and avoid her wrath. And hope that we don’t lose our power. That in a nutshell would make me sour. Because for better or worse, no power would keep me from sending my letters. JoAnn Lee Frank

It is important that people don’t go down to Florida and try to help while the hurricane is active. In the near future people can help in person if, and only if, they are part of a well-coordinated effort. Otherwise, they just get in the way.

Meanwhile, one can donate money ahead of time.

Gov. Rick Scott said it’s imperative to evacuate from Irma’s path, but he should’ve brought in more fuel, food and water.
