As a student at Colorado State University's College of Natural Resources in the 70's (and receiving a BS degree there)it was drummed into us that "settled science" was unequivocally warning of the coming global ice age. I have saved those expensive textbooks with those coming ice age chapters. I am very thankful that those "settled scientists" were wrong, at least over the last 40 years. Then the narrative changed to your "global warming" then as that has not materialized in the last several decades, you call it "climate change" and now lately many are calling it "climate crisis." Some like you trust and respect the media and parrot their positions in your own writing. They have destroyed my trust over the years. <br /><br />By the way, someone discarded 2 Denver Post papers in the same bag onto my driveway last week; I'll never pay a worthless penny for the lies in your paper, so I'll miss your future rantings. But I could not help but relate my experience about your "settled science" from our own taxpayer financed University no less...Thanks for your time, George SechristGeorge Sechristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797902472439027324noreply@blogger.com
