Climate insanity
<\/strong>It was encouraging to read Bjorn Lomborg (\u201cJoe\u2019s Mad Earth Alarm,\u201d Post Opinion, Jan. 16).
Lomborg\u2019s \u201cFalse Alarm\u201d is essential reading for anyone interested in the real effects of climate change. This book carefully explores the human impact on the climate and offers a thoughtful, realistic and practical response. It should be assigned reading in every high school.<\/p>\n

Sadly, I doubt that any members of Congress, especially the advocates of the Green New Deal, have bothered to take the time to read it. Heaven forbid they should educate themselves before taking a position.

<\/em>Green pipe dreams
<\/strong>The Post is spot-on about Gov. Cuomo\u2019s Green New Deal pipe dream (\u201cPoisonous Green Dreams,\u201d Editorial, Jan. 16).<\/p>\n

The costs would be prohibitive, and the \u201cclean energy\u201d could never replace fossil fuels. Moreover, any Green New Deal without extensive use of nuclear power is a forlorn hope, yet Cuomo is opposed to that.<\/p>\n

The problem is that the governor is a liberal ideologue and therefore impervious to rational arguments. Just as he proudly and stubbornly persists in his destructive, never-ending lockdowns that have wrecked the economy of both the city and state without ending the recent surge in COVID, he will not desist from inflicting his master plan for complete independence from fossil fuels on all New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

The result, of course, will be skyrocketing debt, taxes, regulations and energy costs and a continued exodus of businesses and taxpayers to less \u201cenlightened\u201d states. New York is in a death spiral and is probably beyond salvaging.

<\/em>Fake vax facts
<\/strong>One of the inevitable problems in a society where everyone is encouraged to \u201cform their own beliefs\u201d is that many people lack critical understanding and will spout nonsense and feel it\u2019s as good as anyone else\u2019s opinion (\u201cNurses: No jabs here!\u201d Jan. 17).<\/p>\n

Nurses in Coffee County, Kan., are refusing to vaccinate patients because, the health department boss says, the vaccines have only been tried on 45 people. What?<\/p>\n

Most of us know nurses personally and feel, with justification, that they tend to be kind and caring people, and these nurses are probably such a people. However, this view is wildly unscientific and inaccurate.<\/p>\n

She essentially left off three zeroes. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines together, both employing the same basic technology<\/a>, were used on about 44,000 people at the Phase III level, and the results were spectacularly good. How fortunate we are for that. That is why responsible scientists moved to app<\/a>rove them.<\/p>\n

Sowing the seeds of yet more distrust based on distorted facts in our society is irresponsible. Sure, let people make their own decisions, but first give them the facts, not the \u201calternative\u201d facts of paranoid fantasies.

Cuo\u2019s Shelly slam
<\/strong>It seems Gov. Cuomo is not content with simply blaming the fall\/winter rise in COVID case on his favorite scapegoats, the Jews (\u201cPardon parade on his last day,\u201d Jan. 21).<\/p>\n

In his comment that President Trump\u2019s pardon of Sheldon Silver was a \u201cfavor for someone in the Jewish community,\u201d once again our governor has allowed his inherent anti-Semitism to come out.<\/p>\n

Silver didn\u2019t even get the pardon, making Cuomo\u2019s comment not only offensive but moot. To me, it sounds like sour grapes. It is petty, inflammatory and frankly beneath an elected official.
