The 7/6/25 Douglas Wolf LTE incorrectly states America emits 4% of emissions heating the planet and that there is no proof that climate change is related to fossil fuel burning. Both statements are wrong. The American emission number is 11% with 4.2% of the Earth’s population. With 4.13 times the population, China emits 30% of the pollution. China is very concerned and has increased solar and wind by 21% and 18% between 2023 and 2024. Heat trapping by CO2 has been known since 1856. This is not just “feel-good.†Climate change is economics: the cost to “clean up†after hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires due to drought was around $500 billion in 2024. Climate change is certainly related to CO2 emissions and America should lead the way to a cleaner atmosphere and cooler Earth. Tax incentives cut from funding need to be restored to grow the economy and lower emissions.
