Global warming might require higher dams

With the world losing the battle against global warming so far, experts are warning that humans need to follow nature’s example: Adapt or die. That means elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, restricting certain developments, changing farming practices and ultimately moving people, plants and animals out of harm’s way.

Letter to the editor: Evidence shows global warming is no hoax

Brent McCarthy published a letter last week in The Jamestown Sun claiming that global warming was “a delusion or a hoax.” Note that he states nowhere his unique qualifications and background to comment on this issue. Last year, pollsters from the University of Illinois asked 3,146 scientists from American geoscience departments two questions: “Have mean global temperatures risen compared to pre-1800 levels, and has human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures?” Ninety percent of those interviewed agreed with the first part of the query, and 82 percent with the second.

Letter to the editor: Global warming is nothing but a delusion or a hoax

This winter has put an end to the term “global warming” but not the motive behind the hoax which is socialism. It’s officially “climate change.” We are supposed to forget the disproven theory that American capitalism is warming the planet and accept the new theory that it’s cooling the planet. We are supposed to accept the new theory that American CO2 causes both warming and cooling. Liberals cannot prove scientifically that CO2 is a pollutant or even decide if under their theory it warms or cools the planet. All they know for sure is that American capitalism must be stopped.

Letter to the editor: North Dakota Manufacturers can be competitive today

We all know that too many U.S. manufacturing jobs are going overseas. As new players have emerged in the global marketplace, manufacturing competition has grown exponentially. The “integrated manufacturing” business model is infinitely more robust that past manufacturing practices. Our major corporations are now playing the role of pure integrators. Engineering, as well as production, are now going to many more manufacturers all over the world. This presents an opportunity for North Dakota’s small-to-medium-sized manufacturers to contribute to production on a scale never before imagined.
