In the letter “Leaders should take climate action now” (Aug. 8, TribLIVE), the author says leaders should “promote policies that will drive us to a carbon-free future.” Without getting into the whole climate change debate, does the author realize that all lifeforms on earth, plant, animal and human, are carbon-based? That plants, which all other life forms are dependent on for food and oxygen production, rely on CO2 to live?
Good luck with your carbon-free future, sir. It’s gonna be lonely.
