I have to say I am absolutely disgusted by the May 23 Viewpoint article about the Connect the Dots movement [“Connect the Dots: desperate and misguided”].
This is perhaps one of the most condescending and unnecessary rants to be found anywhere off of trashy talk radio. If the author's intent was to incite the reader, he certainly accomplished it, though not how he might have imagined.
The author refers to the members of the movement to be “desperate and misguided,” denouncing them as a meme, and lacking in scientific evidence to back their claims that mismanagement of resources on a global scale results in local changes in climate.
It becomes clear that the author does not believe climate change is occurring - fine, if that is his belief. However, unless he would care to offer more than a smattering of quotes in support of their stance, he's not about to convince any of the hundreds of members of Connect the Dots or any other organization or individuals otherwise.
