Certainly.

Editor,

When you look straight up, the blue sky appears to go on forever. Heaven itself could be up there somewhere, it seems, if you could just go up high enough.

But when you look at the Earth from space, the atmosphere that everything on our planet breathes is a wafer-thin gauze clinging tentatively to our globe.

Right-wingers need to see the atmosphere from space. They need to see our planet hanging in a black void, our precious lives totally dependent on an almost imperceptible pellicle of gas.

When you pump pollution into the atmosphere, it doesn't magically disappear; it doesn't rise away to infinity. It changes the composition of the air. There must be a passage in their Bible that tells them this. "Smoke fills your tent if you burn your dung inside it." Something like that certainly.
