LETTER: Growth can’t continue forever

John Stossel’s Monday column shows he has no understanding about our planet. Our planet is finite in size and, therefore, the resources it can provide to humanity are finite and limited. Any attempt to maintain economic and/or population growth on the finite Earth must lead to the collapse of civilization, deaths of billions and almost certainly the extinction of humanity.

Anyone who believes that economic and/or population growth can continue on the finite Earth is a fool. The only questions are when and how will both cease growth. If humanity does not cease growth intelligently, growth will be ceased by wars — with weapons of mass destruction — fought over the inability of the Earth to provide humanity with the resources necessary for our industrialized civilization to continue.

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.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
