Don’t believe in columnists’ warnings

Syndicated columnist Thomas L. Friedman’s column (“Don’t believe in global warming? you’re wrong. and here’s why,” Nov. 21) mentions the population growth figure of 2.5 billion increase in the next 40 years; but, he never shows that he believes that the US population will increase as he states “will be mostly absorbed by less developed regions”!

He also seems to believe that the US will not have any increase in population during that time as the whole of the projected increase of 2.5 billion will be in those “less developed” regions? So his theories are flawed in that respect as I and any objective person reading this column can’t possibly believe that the world population will increase by 2.5 billion, and the US population will not be a part of that. he also never seems to state that global warming is caused by humans? He just figures we should waste money and resources to stop something that we have no control over!


I also want to know the “they/deniers” he speaks of. He only insinuates that those “they’s/deniers” are Republicans. He should know that not to be totally true as some Democrats and a majority of the US citizenry don’t believe global warming is man made. But, again, he never states that global warming is man made, just insinuates it.


Energy technology is already emerging and so far nothing that has been tried has shown to be cost effiective and workable for the masses. Wind farms are NIMBY(not in my back yard). Solar has been around for many years and still is not cost efficient for the everyday citizen.


So, Mr. Friedman, exactly who or what is the cause of global warming?
