Dan Olson’s constant harangues in his columns have reached the point of being obnoxious. In calling for U.S. Forest Service employees to become “whistleblowers” (“Thinking Green,” Herald, Nov. 18) he is undermining the entire organization because certain events have not gone his way.

When it is pointed out that his calls for climate change actions have direct economic costs for the middle class, he blows it off by saying it is for the greater good.

Recently, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have engaged in printing dialog on the subject of climate change and have made the effort to present two points of view. The politics of climate change have reached a new high (or perhaps a new low) when the Labor Department issued Interpretive Bulletin 2015-01 last month calling for pension fund investments to avoid investing, “in anything that causes or is hurt by climate change.” The result of investing in energy, utilities or industrial stocks could result in being sued for failing (your) fiduciary responsibilities.

Finally, if you have traveled over Wolf Creek Pass in the past year and have seen the devastation caused by drought conditions and beetle kill, how can you honestly think that Red McCombs can sell million dollar condos to sophisticated buyers?
