I read with interest the article written by David Suzuki in the Dec. 12 edition of The Saanich News . I noted several exaggerations and untruths in what he writes.

I came across the article about the cyclist who wasn’t wearing a helmet when hit by a vehicle .

As reports this year continue to show that we are moving into a climate unfavourable to human civilization , we need to pressure our elected officials to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies in B.C. and put pressure on Trudeau to live up to his broken election promise to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies nationally.

Firstly I must admit I have long agreed with the adage coined by my old friend, the late Jim Munro, “The climate is always changing – it’s called weather”. Also, like Jim, I am also old enough to remember that it was not that long ago that climate scientists warned us not of global warming but of the imminent threat of another ice age.

I am very concerned about the city of Victoria and their decision to pass a motion to look at altering spending for Christmas decorations. o stop caroling and wishing people Merry Christmas.

We are grateful to hear that the CRD and Saanich now believe they won’t need to cut down up to 50 trees on Grange Road in Saanich, in order to construct a residual solids conveyance line to the Hartland Landfill.
