The Telegram Tribune: Don't Publish Climate Denial

The Los Angeles Times has adopted a policy of refusing to publish letters that deny climate change, and you should follow suit. End climate change denial in your newspaper. The readers of the Central Coast demand that you no longer provide a space for the lies perpetrated by the fossil fuel industry. There is no credible evidence whatsoever that supports climate change deniers view point. These letters to the editor have been perpetrated by the fossil fuel industry much like those in the tobacco industry has done in the past. Before they sell you fossil fuels they have to sell you doubt.

Why is this important?

Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change. The Tribune has a responsibility to publish facts and there is no evidence that supports the denial of climate change
