We must do more than just look out of the window

Letter of the day

- Jeremy Hall, via email

Climate change politics continue to attract correspondence while some writers suggest that the topic is of minor importance or provokes too much anger and should be hidden away on a back page.

These are the correspondents (and politicians) who believe that the whole topic is "garbage" or a "scam".

Why is it that the deniers/diminishers are so angered by the topic? Is it a refusal to face the challenge to our comfortable way of life?

Comfortable for some of us—we should never forget that 18 per cent of the UK population "live" in absolute poverty so EVs and heat pumps are ludicrous. But money would be available if our Governments were to end the subsidies given to fossil fuel companies.
