Dear Editor,

Recently we have read about devastation from wildfires and strong storms. Climate scientists say we will see more of this as a result of climate change.

To reduce air pollution that causes climate change we must reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Senator Lindsey Graham said, “CO2 emissions generated by man is creating our greenhouse gas effect that traps heat, and the planet is warming.”

Our government needs to do much more to promote clean energy, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. This includes maintaining tax credits for clean energy — not reducing them.

I encourage readers to email their U.S. Senators and Representative. Joining Citizens’ Climate Lobby and similar groups is another great way to fight climate change.

Make earth great again. There is no planet B.

When our grandchildren ask what we did about climate change, let’s have an answer.
