To the Hamilton Herald-News: I recently read a letter to your editor from Joseph H. Mc-Gowen in which he refers to “our war on nature.” To me this is a most comprehensive analysis of how we came to be where we are today, having to deal with so many ongoing natural disasters, because of our treatment of our home, the Earth. He gives us a broader way of understanding what we commonly call “climate change,” a better context for understanding what we are dealing with now.
