Greenhouse effect
Sir,—John H. Lench pops up yet again (July 15) with another absurd disgorgement of anti-con-servation litany, riddled with the prejudice and the mentality of the Dark Ages. His endorsement of mining in the Antarctic (in a previous letter) and now the ebullient praise of the benefits of the greenhouse effect lead me to believe that this gentleman is in fact a sheep in wolfs clothing. Perhaps he is a conservationist masquerading as a bigoted imperialist who is trying to get us all upset to imagine that people might actually think that way. But I am sure he will also be a supporter of species and cultural extinctions, whaling, drift-netting, tropical rain forest destruction, ozone depletion, the Nazi holocaust, the Idi Amin regime, starvation in Sudan, and nuclear
war. Perhaps I will meet him at the next Flat Earth Society meeting.—Yours, etc.,
SEAN WEAVER. July 17, 1989.
