Letters to the Editor: You pray to God about climate change. That’s no excuse for inaction.
We are just now beginning to understand that many of the factors that cause global warming – such as the rise in carbon dioxide levels, which is resulting in a rise in global temperatures – are due to human activities.
But most people still don’t understand that, because they are unwilling to think that way. Instead, they prefer to think that we are going to get over global warming and that everyone should just calm down. Well, they will be surprised when we are hit by a super- El Niňo storm and the temperatures come roaring back to normal.
You pray to God about climate change. That’s no excuse for inaction.

So, Mr. Dickey. Why did you take it upon yourself to write this article about climate change, anyway? I find it sad that the majority of people who believe God has no existence think that their opinion should be taken into consideration by the editors of the paper, but instead of responding to you with facts, they wrote a letter claiming that you are trying to “polarize” the climate change debate.
You are trying to “polarize” the climate change debate.
You’re right, it is really a shame for me to have to write this because I don’t usually agree with your political views, but I really do find it odd that you are so against the very people that make up about half of your country that want to address climate change.
How do you reconcile that?
“You are trying to “polarize” the climate change debate.”
You are trying to polarize the climate change debate by trying to take a scientific fact, put a “politically correct spin” on it, and use it to push your political views.
“You are taking a scientific fact, putting a politicatically correct spin on it and use it to push your political views.”
The only way to address climate change is to address it. There
