Ever since my Naval Academy days I've loved the Washington Post and not just for the awesome Sunday comics. I cherish the Post for continuing to publish quality, thoughtful journalism and editorials.
I’m writing in support of Charles Krauthammer. In a recent editorial Charles summed up the “global warming/climate change” argument very well by stating from the onset he isn’t a believer or denier but is interested in keeping the conversation going. That settled science isn’t in the true nature of the scientific method. I think the petition circulating to demand the Washington Post stop carrying his editorials is the worst form of censorship.
My daughter, who has studied Mars for years and one day wants to go there, never misses a chance to point out that NASA has reported the Martian South Pole carbon dioxide ice cap has been shrinking for years. So is the Earth warming and are sea levels rising? I think it’s safe to say yes, but is man the cause or more importantly for this debate is an increase from 290 ppm to 400 ppm in CO2 causing this? I’m a scientist by degree and I choose, like my daughter the chemist, to remain skeptical and maintain an open mind to all possibilities.
