An open letter to Congressman Tiffany

To the Editor:

Dear Congressman Tiffany,

In the segment of the May 9 Tiffany Telegram entitled “Ending the Green New Scam” you state that the Inflation Reduction Act “was simply a Trojan horse for the Left’s radical climate crusade, packed with Green New Scam handouts.” I’m wondering what the scam is.

I’ve read recently that the last ten years have been the hottest on record; that ocean heat content is at a record high; that polar sea ice is at near record lows; and that atmospheric CO2 levels soared to a record high in 2024. Are climate scientists fabricating these reports? Is that the scam? Or, is it just easier to claim that there’s a scam rather than face up to an inconvenient truth: that to leave our grandchildren and their children with a planet that’s still reasonably habitable, we need to make significant changes in how we live our lives?

Also, is it really wise for us to let China completely dominate the global transition to clean energy?

What say you? I’m hoping that the next issue of the Tiffany Telegram will provide an answer.
