Dear Prof. Chomsky,
I remember enjoying a summer afternoon with family and friends, sitting under a large pine tree for shade. This particular tree could be beyond the century mark, judging from its size and character.

The poll results were a bit disturbing, it seems a majority of the populous shading themselves from the afternoon sun, believe that man-made climate change is a hoax. One doubter argued, “The average temperature of the globe is higher than it is today.”

Ah, I see what you mean. Health costs, yes. Climate impacts: no, not plausible, unless you don’t really believe in climate change.
