Re: Suzuki shoud quit scare-mongering (Letters Oct. 16)
It really bothers me when I see people writing in attacking David Suzuki.
David Suzuki is an expert on environmental issues and to call him Chicken Little is outrageous, and as is often the case, completely misses the point.
Have you seen The 11th Hour? Read Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization or Stupid to the Last Drop, or many others?
Many scientists are concerned that civilization is in danger of collapse, with global warming, declining world food production, environmental destruction, biodiversity loss, over-fished oceans, pollution, peak oil and an increasing human population coming to a head.
It is hard for us in Canada to imagine with all our open spaces, fresh water and other natural resources, but much of the rest of the world is near its limits.

Keith, you and I have nothing to be alarmed about (re: “Suzuki should quit scare-mongering”).
You, because you have your head buried safely in the sand and me because I chose not to have children or grandchildren.
Eternal optimists (everything is going to be just fine) like you are quickly killing our planet Earth.
We need more “wolf criers” like David Suzuki.
