Walden’s message

Letter to Editor by Louis Shawkat, Medford Mail Tribune, April 19, 2017, also in Ashland Daily Tidings, April 20 2017 and Rogue Valley Messenger May 24,2017 as RE.: Greg Walden.

Obvious messages from Rep. Greg Walden’s town hall on Friday were:

While he understands carbon (dioxide) is a problem, he disregards the effects of methane, a climate pollutant worse than carbon dioxide that escapes when gas leaks. Though natural gas is touted as “clean energy,” this claim constitutes disinformation from the energy industry because the leaking methane absorbs heat like a blanket, making earth warmer. We can’t tolerate this much warmth!
