Reader Charlie Heller notes: Hydrocarbons are not nearly the problem climate change hysteria peddlers claim. They are making money off of fear mongering.

I had no idea. Please provide some evidence in support of the claim you make here.

I’d also be interested to know why are there just short of 2500 lobbyists from Big Oil, more than twice as many as any previous year, at the COP (climate change) meeting in Dubai.

Someone has a profit motive, to be sure. Not sure it’s the climate scientists and the other advocates of clean energy and environmental sustainability, but I remain interested in your assertion.

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.

“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.

I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
