Letter to Denver Post

Dear Denver Post:
After reading the article “Silencing science won’t prevent global warming”, there are a couple things I want to point out. First of all, multiple arguments and opinions about different matters should be acceptable in this world, and I’m sure they are.[Ethos] Without argument I don’t think we could ever progress. The theories that we have proven are developed throughout a long period of time. We have proven ourselves wrong for so many times before we have finally got the true answers. We need different thoughts and arguments to be able to keep moving forward.
There is nothing wrong telling the high school kids both sides. You are making them to believe in what you say if you just to give them one perspective. Plus those high school kids are old enough to know what they want to believe in; or whether if they should say yes to the things we give them.
The speech by Running should have given, even though the “globe warming” theory is unproven. But we sure can see what we have done to the environment. The skies on crowed cities are not as blue, some of them you can’t even see the blues anymore. Unexpected weathers are in our daily life. We know that sea level is increasing rapidly, due to the melting of ice in both poles. There are huge snow storms in central China this year, which is very rare to see. Do you know how much heavy metals you can find from freshwater fish and some of the meat we are eating? Nothing is natural anymore. Who caused all these to happen? We did. There is no point to prove “globe warming”, it is happening in every way. We really need to take this seriously.
