Recent letters have promoted the notion that President Biden and the Democrats are waging a “war on fossil fuels and oil companies.”
These letters never mention climate change so it’s possible the authors don’t know about it.
The way I see it, Biden & Co. are attempting a careful and economically responsible transition from fossil fuel to non-carbon emitting energy sources.
They are keeping their eyes on the prize, which is to lower the level of atmospheric carbon - the cause of climatic changes we are now beginning to experience.
A safe level is 350 (or fewer) parts per million. Currently, we’re at about 415 and rising.
Biden and the Democrats are trying to secure a livable home for our grandchildren and future generations but it’s a difficult task when so many of our citizens are concerned only with the current price of gas.
