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
