Letters / Climate concern?
I’ve followed the discussion over the years on Shetland News’ letters page suggesting climate change is some kind of global green conspiracy.
At the same time I have felt like something pretty serious is going on without being able to explain why.
When I saw this TED talk the other day I realised there is a good reason why I’ve been feeling such a sense of urgency about this.
I don’t want to be an alarmist, however…
I want a future on this planet for my children, my grandchildren and generations to come, as I’m sure we all do.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
