LETTER: Climate change is plain as the mole on your nose

Climate deniers are like that guy that has a nasty, angry-looking mole on the end of his nose.

His liberal wife pleads with him to have it checked out because, contrary to popular opinion, she loves him.

So, he goes to 100 doctors and 97 of them say, “Yeah, it’s very probably melanoma and should be taken care of as soon as possible before it really becomes a problem.”

The other three doctors say, “It could be anything, don’t worry about it.”

And it turns out that those other three doctors are cozying up to the petro … err, I mean oncology guild.

So let’s just ignore that cancer that literally is in front of your nose, really?

I’d also like to point out that we, America, are squeezing out the very last of the hydrocarbon reserves we have.

Give it 30 more years before the oil and natural gas fracking revolution starts to quickly peter out.

What then?

I understand that Russia has huge reserves that will be much more accessible, once the northern seas are free of ice.

So, not to worry.
