The Issue: Sen. Joe Manchin\u2019s threat to block a climate-change bill unless Republicans have a say.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sen. Joe Manchin is right: Democrats need to at least make an effort to enlist Republican support on a climate bill before resorting to reconciliation (\u201cKey Dem: Give GOP a voice,\u201d March 9).<\/p>\n

Bipartisan measures will be more durable in the face of future power shifts, and mitigation of the climate crisis requires long-term, sustained action.<\/p>\n

A carbon fee could be palatable to conservatives and is regarded by hundreds of economists and climate scientists as the fastest way to reduce greenhouse gasses.<\/p>\n

Republicans must show a willingness to take on the problem, something they have failed to do so far. And Democrats should take them up on this uniquely bipartisan proposal if they do.<\/p>\n

Jordan Sollitto<\/em><\/p>\n

San Marino, Calif.<\/em><\/p>\n

A large majority of Americans, from all ends of the political spectrum, understand that climate change is a major threat to our way of life.<\/p>\n

Manchin understands that Republicans and Democrats both have to be involved in the fight.<\/p>\n

There is a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and get Republicans and Democrats on the same side: put a price on carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

We can use the carbon fees to bring environmental justice to those most affected by pollution and climate change.<\/p>\n

We can invest in 21st-century infrastructure \u2014 like energy storage and an upgraded power grid \u2014 and become the industrial powers of the future. <\/p>\n

Sanford Krasner<\/em><\/p>\n

Altadena, Calif.<\/em><\/p>\n

Manchin and President Biden are both wrong to call the infrastructure bill a \u201cclimate bill.\u201d It does address some of our emissions, but only a small part, compared to what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

American actions alone aren\u2019t enough. The problem is too big and the timetable too short to work piecemeal on the fringe.<\/p>\n

Only an American-led fee on carbon pollution paid for by the fossil-fuel industry addresses all emissions, and when done in tandem with a border adjustment, ensures global cooperation.<\/p>\n

Mark Tabbert<\/em><\/p>\n

Costa Mesa, Calif.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is important that Republicans participate in the climate-change discussion.<\/p>\n

What is needed is for Republicans to join with moderate Democrats, such as those who supported the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act last year, and push a bill that does what is needed for the planet while protecting Republican interests.<\/p>\n

If they do not, Democrats will do what they can to use regulations and spending to reduce carbon use, and the results will not be best for any of us. <\/p>\n

Huntington Beach, Calif.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Issue: Ayden Wolfe, a 10-year-old boy who was allegedly killed by his mother\u2019s boyfriend in Harlem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t anyone talking about the bigger issue (\u201cEarly warning,\u201d March 9)?<\/p>\n

Can we talk about how important it is for inner-city children to be in school?<\/p>\n

The Department of Education and the city constantly talk about equity. These school shutdowns are the most inequitable thing to happ<\/a>en in the city school system.<\/p>\n

I cannot even begin to imagine how many children are unaccounted for at this time. It makes me sick to my stomach that city children are not being made a priority.<\/p>\n

Violet Sinanaj, Yonkers<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that our society again allowed such an avoidable killing to take place, despite the lessons from the similar cases.<\/p>\n

The only institution that didn\u2019t seem to fail the victim this time was Administration for Children\u2019s Services.<\/p>\n
