Thank you for Beth Daley’s article on the ways in which climate change may have turned Sandy from a typical tropical storm into a fierce hurricane (“Effects of climate change increase risk of storms’ impacts,” Page A6, Oct. 30). She quoted the organizer of this week’s climate change vigil at Government Center, who said, “We need leadership to connect what is happening out there and the policies that drive it.”
The policies that drive climate change include overuse of fossil fuels, inadequate regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, and allowing polluters to befoul our atmosphere for free.

I say we go back to the days of no cars, no trucks, no planes, no buses, no heat, like the good ol days.
cap and trade will not stop green house gases, we will only pay more for energy, then the government can send our money to other countries.
In addition to greenhouse gases, let's not forget the quality of the air we breathe. These emissions are responsible for the high levels of asthma among, especially, children. There's nothing like clean air. I got a few whiffs of it this summer when I went to the Rangely lakes area in Maine. The air there is supercharged with unpolluted energy.
