Dear Mr. Wassam

 

What is wrong with our rational thinking these days? Is the corporate bottom line the most important thing we go for? For decades Climate scientists have been warning us of cataclysmic affects due to carbon and methane.Still we conduct business as usual and last year we did ourselves by increasing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

Reports out recently have announced that over 1 million plant and animal species are likely to go extinct in the next decade or two. Are they just kidding around? They and climate scientists are not in the business of kidding. They take their work very seriously and don’t get paid a salary not like the heads of fossil fuel companies and their supported industries such as chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

This plan to weaken the RPS is insane if you look at from the viewpoint of children living in today’s world. What good will it be for them to grow up in a world where is rising seas, drought, dangerous storms, mass starvation huge numbers of refugees, loss of ocean and terrestrial biodiversity, and a lower life expectancy. This plan simply stated is sinister devious and a betrayal of the trust I and many have had in common sense and scientific senseability When all is said and done if this gutting takes place I will be there and with thousands of others to directly stop what myself and others others believe is an assault on the future children to have to live with your decisions.

The natural world doesn’t care about money. We cannot live in a world without healthy natural systems. The planet is dying, let’s get together and bring it back to good health.

 

Sincerely,

Fergus Marshall
