Climate change may doom us all. Some don’t believe that but is it any wonder West Newsmagazine readers got that impression scanning letters in the Nov. 13 edition? Peter Raven suggests people are the problem. There are too many of us. A million human beings were around 11,000 years ago and today earth is home to 7.7 billion. That’s a scientific analysis. Once in our history many embraced a biblical point of view. God told the first couple to “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.” Later He commanded Noah, “Populate the earth abundantly.” Of course, if one doesn’t accept the truth of Creation he or she might worry about the dilemma of a congested globe. We’re consuming too much food and heating the planet dangerously, almost by two degrees Fahrenheit, Raven informs us. Atmospheric warming has been understood for 130 years, we’re told. Yet in the middle of the previous century scientists feared a global freeze! The Cato Institute reminds us biologist Paul Ehrlich said 50 years ago that the collapse of civilization “within decades was a near certainty.” His 1968 best seller “The Population Bomb” shouted about reproduction gone berserk. Since he scared the masses, population doubled. Yet annual famine deaths have declined by millions. Guess what? There’s hope at the end of the population tunnel. Each subsequent billion will take longer to achieve, according to RealClearScience, until growth eventually plateaus at around 9 billion by 2050. Birth rates are falling around the world. Dale Markley stakes his belief on confidence in big government and suspicion of conservatism. He says 13 federal agencies concluded that human-caused climate change is real. He mentions no private scientific findings. He quotes no independent studies. Finally, Bryce Frazier adds his criticism to climate observations by Walter Williams [Nov. 13]. “I have observed and written a letter myself, addressing Mr. Williams’ decidedly right-wing view of the world.” So, the revelation that climate change is often more about wealth redistribution than temperature fluctuation is not to be taken seriously. Mr. Frazier thinks readers deserve “a modicum of impartiality.” He means he’d like to see more leftist dogma. My suggestion: Read the New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, Time, New Republic, Huffington Post or twelve dozen other journals. Plenty are out there. Spare us this one newsmagazine. Norman Baxter Regarding Walter Williams Walter E. Williams’ intellectual gymnastics are impressive. In his last article “U.S. in moral decline” [Nov. 6], Mr. Williams claims the mantle of victimhood for the most privileged and powerful in America. See, since the rich may not want to pay taxes, the fact that they have to do so basically means that they are slaves. This ridiculous conclusion presumes the rich A) have no obligation to contribute to society beyond their own whims and B) the rich don’t benefit from government spending. Of course, the rich benefit the most from indirect [interstates only benefit people who own cars] and direct [bank bailouts] government largesse. For Mr. Williams, routine government taxing and spending is a show of moral decline. Mr. Williams also lavishes praise on Attorney General William Barr’s speech claiming moral decline is caused by people advocating for constitutionally mandated separation of church and state. Quite frankly, anyone looking to the Trump administration for moral guidance should have their head examined. Even a dedicated Trumpist is likely to squirm if asked to present the President as an example of moral character to children. As I have said before, Mr. Williams is a bad faith actor who should not be given a platform. J.A. Faust CORRECTION: In the news brief title “Mayor disputes sales tax rumors” in the Nov. 13 issue of West Newsmagazine, it was falsely stated that Mayor Bob Nation was in attendance for the Nov. 4 City Council meeting. Chesterfield councilmember Barbara McGuiness was also incorrectly misquoted as saying “The mayor was late, he missed the entire discussion” while her actual statement was “[Councilmember Ben Keathley] was late, he missed the entire discussion.” West Newsmagazine regrets this error.
