Your Voice: Kelowna climate activist is a people doctor, not an Earth scientist

All letters to the editor published by KelownaNow reflect only the opinions of the readers who submit them, and not necessarily those of KelownaNow or its staff. Letters can be submitted to news@kelownanow.com


This letter is in response to an interview with Dr. Tom Warshawski from the Kelowna Climate Coalition.

Dear Editor,

Climate activist Dr. Tom Warshawski: who are you?

Are you not a people doctor?

What are your credentials on climate?

Are you an Earth scientist?

Have you studied the cyclical changes to the weather?

Your statement, "He also urged Kelowna City Council – whose Climate Resilient Kelowna Strategy he praised as “very comprehensive” – to be “more assertive and more aggressive” in its approach to the environment."

What do you mean "assertive and more aggressive"? Explain, Tom! How do you see the City of Kelowna getting more assertive and more aggressive?

Kelowna and the South Okanagan are semi-arid desert, or did you forget that?

"One of the reasons why I like living here is because it's so warm,” he explained. “But, in fact, it's going to get warmer and warmer.”.

You like living in Kelowna, Tom, because it's warm. You state it's going to get warmer and warmer. Where are your facts, Tom, since you did quote facts! Historical facts go back 100 years or more. I am sure the readers would like to see those facts!

I think you should stick to people doctoring and quit being a climate alarmist. You are instilling fear into vulnerable people.

Just stop it already!
