Dear Dr. Rouhi,
Congratulations on your appointment as Editor-In-Chief of Chemical and Engineering News!
I have read your first editorial, "Planning for Change". I like your writing style and the content of that editorial. I can see why the ACS Board has chosen you as Editor-In-Chief.
However, I have yet to see what you stand for. I am looking for a change from Rudy Baum, your predecessor. Mr. Baum used Chemical and Engineering News as a forum for his political views, most of which I disagreed with.
My two major points of disagreement were his continued advocacy for big government and his insistence that man is responsible for climate change and should dedicate considerable effort to climate control.
Choice of government size is mostly a matter of political persuasion unrelated to education. I would like to see where you come in on that. My point of view is that while government is important, we have been ridiculously progressing to a socialistic society for the last 60 years.
Climate change opinion is in a different category. While it should be a matter of opinion based upon scientific fact, we have apparently developed a cult of climate change enthusiasts who deal in emotion, probably from a financial point-of-view. I am strongly opposed to the use of public funds for grants to university professors to obtain scientific information to support an emotional position on climate change. Even with the accumulation of scientific data from those grants, I see no evidence emerging to support the theory that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has led to an increase in global temperatures.
Good luck in your new assignment, and I look forward to seeing whether you and your staff will be able to take a more objective view of science as a realistic part of our society.Dr. Arthur C. Sucsy
