THE ENVIRONMENT has got Metro readers talking as of late, but who has the appropriate resolution? A Few suppose Just Forestall Oil may need the correct thought…

■ Kevin from Watford points out that a few international locations have higher emissions than others (MetroTalk, Thu).

A LARGE reason for this is that many evolved international locations akin to the uk have ‘outsourced’ their pollution to other countries. The air pollution created in China while making my new telephone or television is actually my air pollution, no longer China’s. Adrian, via e-mail

■ Am I the one one to recognize that the severe disruption caused by the Just Prevent Oil protesters (Metro, Thu) is basically vital? For too lengthy most people have buried their heads in the sand and persevered consumption to excess, leaving us where we’re now – with a local weather emergency and dealing with Armageddon of our personal inflicting.

Polite campaigning is too easily not noted and the issues we face should be tackled now.

Don’t like it? Don’t just like the disruption for your lives? Suppose on! This disruption will probably be minute in comparison with the results from Mother Nature. Russell, Gerrards Cross

■ I’m Going to a school for people with top-functioning autism simply off the M25, and a pair of days ago half the category was overdue because of these righteous fools. I’m a lifelong vegetarian and allotment-retaining lover of greenery, but the Simply Stop Oil protesters have alienated me and inconvenienced 
my pals.

in the event that they want to get their point across, why now not protest someplace the place the federal government may have to pay attention – comparable to out of doors parliament?

Then they would inconvenience people who may actually create change, now not autistic children who just want a half-first rate education. Agnes, London

■ I’m satisfied to look David Harrison (MetroTalk, Wed) speaking of the primary reason for local weather modification: the human population explosion. No, it’s now not the sheep burping, or no matter what else the claim is.

And, as David says, unless politicians around the international deal with this, all different efforts to combat local weather modification are useless and doomed to failure. Javid Aly-Khan, Chiswick

■ So exactly what would David have us do so as to restrict our population? Make sex unlawful and/or contraception mandatory? Have extra wars and plagues? Abandon all measures of health and safety? Inspire accidents, ideally fatal ones? Move a regulation that calls for us to abort ten in step with cent of latest conceptions?

Perhaps he would let us realize? Gordon, Croydon

■ Just 200 years in the past, there have been approximately one thousand million other people on earth and it’s now coming near 8 billion.

More people need more land lined in homes (houses, schools, factories etc) and extra land used for farming to feed everyone.

Unfortunately, politicians would be unpopular in the event that they demanded that couples must reproduce at not more than alternative level – two kids. Cuthbert, Essex

■ Eight billion people is not sustainable. Linda, via e-mail

That, my friend, is just a vintage case of the antique burden-of-evidence fallacy

■ Danny (MetroTalk, Wed) takes factor with a previous letter writer who mentioned there is no afterlife and no real basis for superstition, mentioning there was no authentic foundation for that declare either. He’s fallen for the weight-of-evidence fallacy. an individual making a claim, comparable to the life of ghosts, must provide the evidence for the claim. It is not for a sceptic to disprove the declare.

Christopher Hitchens summed it while he famously mentioned ‘that which can be asserted without evidence, may also be dismissed without proof’. Lewis, Birmingham

■ While my husband was once demise in sanatorium, he had a visitor – a young man who just sat in a chair.

They gave his age as late 20s and stated he was once dark-haired, light-skinned and slim.

We lost our first child – they might have been that age, and, given the physicality of the family, likely to are compatible that description. I’m yes that our first kid got here to take his father to heaven. Alison Fairclough, Liverpool

■ Niru says that souls provide a body life (MetroTalk, Wed). Life is a chain of chemical reactions inside and between cells of residing organisms. when we die, the chemical compounds of which we’re composed are recycled, whether or not following decay or cremation. Len, Barking

■ Are there ghosts? We handiest understand what we revel in. Imagine in what you want.
Beata, Basildon

Do our nurses need to strike?

■ As a nurse, i locate it hard to believe nurses are going to meals banks and having to consume patients’ leftover food (Metro, Thu). Nurses are paid smartly above the minimum wage.

JJ, Glasgow

■ I’ve all the time thought that nurses’ work used to be a vocation and not just a job? Obviously, in the event that they choose to go on strike, they’re not really dedicated to what they’re doing. If it’s handiest about money, they need to by no means have joined the NHS. Johnny, Hertfordshire
