“Fairbanks Daily News-Miner letter to the editor covers what the newspaper failed to report. The newspaper swallows the claim that the sneaky dismissal of the climate committee was reasonable and normal. It wasn’t.”
“The new members have no expertise in climate science.
None of them ever participated in the committee’s process over the past year. If lojewski truly appreciated the committee’s work, he would have left his committee intact. Lojewski is not interested in climate change adaptation. In fact, his 2016 candidates survey had stated. “There should be no Alaska policy to combat global warming.” Lojewski is deliberately undermining the committee’s work. What kind of “presiding officer” would do that?
Lojewski’s statement thanking the committee was dripping with insincerity. If he had really wanted to show appreciation to the committee, he wouldn’t have replace it with unqualified members. Likewise, income chair Aaron Gibson’s claim that “everybody here…only has the best of intentions for borough residents” was equally phony.
If Loweski and Gibson want to generate goodwill among the majority of residents who are genuinely concerned about climate change, they could begin by reinstating the committee members who were dismissed. They could also publicly acknowledge what scientists have known for many years: that human-caused climate change is a reality that will require humans to adapt.”
