The debate over the changing climate, its cause and even its existence continues, and I expect that it will never be resolved.
Given the continuing belief by some that the world is flat, some 1,500 years after the first math on the subject was done, is proof that ignorance prevails through the ages. The science associated with human-induced climate change is only a mere century old.
What has recently changed is that young people are emerging as the vocal proponents of action on climate change, and as one may expect, the “establishment” is actively criticizing this civil disobedience.
Ivan Hall (St. Albert Gazette, Your Views, April 10) uses the phrase “doomsday panic” and “jumping on the bad press bandwagon” in his own attempt to publicly silence this movement.
Ken Allred suggests (Gazette, Commentary, March 30) research and debate as the means to move forward, when the environment of the Canadian Arctic is literally falling to pieces because of a changing climate.
The youth of the world have recognized that the time for debate is over.
