Dear Mr. Wright: It is said that words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like morning dew upon a thought, can sometimes produce that which makes thousands, perhaps million think. Alas, this is not the case with your article which merely wastes good ink. In my view, the dish you prepare for us is a tasteless stew of driivel heavy on the alarm and very light on fact and science. In brief, your article provides little illumination and proves, if anything, that paper will put up with anything you put on it. May I respectfully suggest that rather than paraphrase the vapid propaganda of "self-interested academics living off "Global Warming" grants and stipends, or power hungry politicans, that you seek out facts and some basic understnding. You might start out simply by reading Michael Crichton's novel "State of Fear" (loads of original references to pertinent data), and then slowly graduate to the scientific papers of someone like Professor Lentzer of MIT (a real climatologist). You might even consider talking to your colleague Perry Fischer at sister publication World Oil. Thinking you see requires the consumption and expenditure of intellectual calories--effort. He has done his homework and you can certainly learn from him. Just ask. Finally, as a long time reader and occasional writer for HP I was appalled to see such polemical drivel in the magazine. I thought that I was reading the wisdom of some groupie from that scientific wizard Al Gore. There is certainly room for intelligent disagreement about Global Warming and its tie-in to human activity. However, let us carry out the discussion on facts not selected drivel spooned out by the "Globaql warming" alarmists and proselytizers.Certainly, Wright is wrong to publish such unhelpful banal nonsense.
