Letters To The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
April 26, we attended the annual cancer survivors dinner at Faith Lutheran Church.
 
Its an event like no other put on by a group of very dedicated individuals and sponsors within our fine community. It sure seems the evening brings much joy to families and individuals that have battled cancer.
 
We are very thankful for the time and work put forth.
 
The Welesch Family,
Becker, MN.
 
TO THE EDITOR:
The residents near the big coal fired power plant might be interested in this.
 
My April 13, 2018 issue of Science, says that  by reducing the amount of aerosols (I assume like particle sulfates from coal fired plants, etc.),  we are actually causing warming. And, that climate simulations indicate that without anthropogenic (man-made) aerosols, global mean surface warming would be .5 degree Centigrade  higher than present.  
 
An April 2014, Scientific American article said we need to be careful about reducing the amount of particles ejected into atmosphere by coal fired power plants; too much reduction will not block enough of the sun's heating rays and this too will contribute to global warming.
 
How ironic, environmentalist  groups like Sierra Club have shut down hundreds of coal fired plants since 2010,  but in doing so, they actually contributed to global warming!
