Editor,

I am writing in response to the recent letter to the editor by Ed Hickey, “It’s the sun that controls our climate, not mankind.”

Hickey praises the recent anti-climate change letter by David Powell, who claims that his “information” came from a web search of NASA.

Apparently Hickey and Powell have at least some regard for NASA as a source of trustworthy information on climate change.

If so, I suggest that they and other climate change skeptics consult the following official NASA web site that summarizes the views of NASA with regard to climate change.

The web site is: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

There has been much solid science regarding climate change already presented in this paper that has been disregarded. Perhaps — but I doubt — the NASA evidence will change the minds of Hickey and Powell.

It is worth a chance.

In the future it would help if letters provide formal complete citations for the source of their evidence.

That will help in determining if the “evidence” has any credibility or whether the writer is simply expressing their own personal views.
