Re: Adrian Raeside cartoon, June 4.
Does anybody find it ironic that Adrian Raeside’s cartoon gleefully depicting the death of a “climate-change denier” appears on the same page as Naomi Lakritz’s column on the murder of Dr. Mehdi Ali Qamar, motivated by the fact that he was an Ahmadi Muslim, a sect not recognized by the rest of Islam.
Can there be any doubt that climate activism has become the new religion, with all the potential intolerance that implies? The arguments involving climate warming, or climate change, as the activists have started calling it since warming stopped 16 or so years ago, are ultimately scientific in nature, hopefully resolved by rational argument.
What happened to the long-held truism in western culture that intelligent people can hold different opinions on the same facts? Raeside’s cartoon was disgusting.
