In response to the “Climate preparation” editorial in the Nov. 2 issue of New York Teacher:

It’s interesting that we, in the United States, are always being asked to change our lifestyle to remedy so-called “climate change.” China and India are where the advocates should be looking for reform. They are far worse polluters than the United States. Meanwhile, the people speaking the loudest about the issue are usually the same people who travel by jet or yacht around the world.

The climate is always changing. This has been true throughout history. There is also a wide divide among scientists as to whether or not mankind is responsible for these changes or if they are occurring naturally.
