Jim Chattin, Devils Lake, letter: Wealthy fiddle while overheating globe burns
In North Dakota, I’m sure many will continue to blithely believe global warming is a hoax, and most of us will remain comfortable and guilt-free in burning more “clean” coal, more crude and more natural gas so that we — far removed from any coastline or harbor — can continue to enjoy cheap and plentiful energy.

Jim Chattin, Devils Lake, letter: Public, government ignore warming. Why?

Negotiators from Europe, tiny islands threatened by rising oceans and the world's poorest countries sought to keep alive the only treaty governing global warming and move to the next stage, struggling against an unlikely alliance of the United States, China and India.

Terrence Kardong, Richardton, Minn., letter: N.D. should copy, not sue, Minnesota
