I would like to ask Ian Welch, George Fortune and Richard Covington (Letters, Wiltshire Times April 25) if they agree with the more than 95 per cent of scientists worldwide who say manmade emissions are causing disruption to our climate and that action is needed now.
If they do, do they agree with the recent report from the IPCC that we need to triple renewable energy production to combat climate change? And if they agree with both of these do they agree that the situation is urgent and we need to use every reasonable opportunity to increase our production of renewable energy?
No-one wants wind turbines or solar farms if the position is truly wrong and genuinely destructive to the environment, but these are proven technologies that are available to us now.
We should indeed be putting more solar panels onto roofs but this will nowhere near bring us to the sort of contribution Wiltshire should be making to the UK’s renewable energy production.
We need solar and wind farms if we are not to lose far more from the effects of climate change than we are from changes to our views.
