LETTER: Stop cherry picking weather data

The September “weather snapshot” you published indicates that 21 of the hottest September calendar days on record came in the late 1930s to the mid-1950s. The snapshot also “coincidentally” indicates that 20 of the coolest calendar day records came in the same period. That’s two-thirds of the records, a significant statistic that doesn’t seem to support the ideology of man-made climate change.

In fact, the only September daily heat and cold records set in the recent past are both on Sept. 30 in 2015. Now I understand that this is only a snapshot of time and of Las Vegas. But two decades worth of record-setting weather does equate to the local climate, while the records in 2015 would seem to be just weather.

As we know, statistics can support any lie, deny any fact and be manipulated. Isn’t it time that the so-called deniers among the scientific community be allowed a seat at the table on climate change? Science is ever-evolving, and something such as the broad man-made climate change ideology needs to be checked, rechecked and continuously monitored.

Climate change is an existential threat to mankind, animals and plants. Why doesn’t the Biden family lead the way?

LETTER: The Trump show trial

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
