 Dear Editor,


''Al Gore stated that the “Arctic would be free of ice by 2013.” In 2006 Gore said that unless we take drastic measures the world will reach a point of “no return” within 1...0 years, precipitating a true planetary crisis due to “man-made global warming.” It didn’t happen. There have been many scare stories in the media on climate change, one of them arguing that climate change would render Earth uninhabitable by the end of the century. Extraordinarily, Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann told the Philadelphia Inquirer that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” and that articles “fail to produce it.” ****Such is the gist of most climate fiction published in local and major media.''****
