Dear editor,

My wife and I have been around the block a few times and just celebrated 60 years together. So [we] have been through a lot of climate change, drought, floods, tornadoes, wind and dust storms, earthquakes, snow and ice. And [we] are still here. 

I went through the flood of 1951 in Iola, Kansas, and waded into my grandmother’s house where the water was chest deep to pull some pictures off the wall and put them on her table that was afloat. So I know about floods. 

But according to science, over the last 100 years the temperature has increased by 1 degree.  There are some on the far side of the moon that are saying that if we don’t do something about climate change now, that in 12 years we are all going to die. This is like Chicken Little telling us that the sky is falling.
