Letter: Temperatures have fluctuated for the last 150 years; give climate change factsJack Hellner | The State Journal-Register

Please publish this to give the public actual scientific information about climate change since you continue to publish letters from people like Carol Coleman (12/12/21) and others along with numerous articles from the Associated Press that talk about climate change but give little or no scientific data. Not once have we seen any information that shows a direct correlation between oil and coal usage and temperatures.
Temperatures have fluctuated for the last 150 years with a 35-year cooling period from 1940-1975 while crude oil usage has gone from zero to around 100 million barrels per day. Yet temperatures are up less than two degrees after a 550-year kittle ice age ended. Isn't it normal for temperatures to rise after an ice age ends?
On another note, that AP article on inflation this morning (12/13/21) mentioned nothing about Biden's energy policies which have caused the big spike in prices and energy prices affect everything and especially harm the poor, middle class and small businesses. Not once has Biden, Kerry or anyone else in the administration been asked to provide scientific data to support the destruction of the fossil fuel industry and the U.S economy.
Shouldn't the SJR publish factual pieces instead of mostly trying to influence the public to support the Democrat agenda?
