Reader Tom Graham's (letter Sept. 1) credibility on ballot measures is completely destroyed when he comes out as a climate change/global warming denier. The sun's proximity and sun-spot activity does affect earth temperature in long-term cycles. However, measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases, loss of Artic sea ice and melting glaciers, rising ocean and atmospheric temperatures, and rising sea levels have all proven that burning fossil fuels is a major contributor to what has happened at an increasing rate over the last decade.
Amendment 69 will not double the state budget to nearly $100 billion; the tax for ColoradoCare will replace the $11 billion per year of after-taxes income Coloradans spend on health care under the current system. Despite the claims that increased minimum wages will destroy many jobs, history has shown that it has not happened.
