Letter: Clinton ducks climate issue
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: There has been disappointment expressed at the conference in Denver that countries have not faced up to the problem of carbon-dioxide emissions. This is no doubt something that wealthy countries will have to do. In the meantime there is a simple and painless way to help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Reduce central heating.
How many of us wear summer clothes indoors in winter or heat the whole house even when some rooms are not in use? Offices are so warm that shirt- sleeves are worn in winter. Often when we go into a shop, dressed for outside winter, we are engulfed by another climate zone. If offices, shops and homes all reduced heating even by one degree we would help to slow down the greenhouse effect.
