Lay off the chief
There isn’t a dad or mum alive who hasn’t misplaced their mood with an unruly youngster, a lot in the way in which that North Babylon fireplace chief Peter Alt did the opposite day (“Fireplace chief curses out child, 10,” Aug. 7).
This was not the primary time firefighters had been referred to as to rein on this lady.
It’s unhappy that her dad and mom have needed to make these calls, and I can solely think about Alt’s stage of frustration.
I’m positive he regrets shedding his composure, however skewering a public servant for being human will not be at all times the answer.

Battery betrayal
Conceived beneath Gov. Nelson Rockefeller within the late Sixties, Battery Park Metropolis changed a mile of deserted, rotting piers between Battery Park and Canal Road with new housing, monetary establishments and civic amenities, together with a mile-long pedestrian stroll alongside the Hudson River and decrease Manhattan harbor (“Redo assault on Battery,” Steve Cuozzo, Aug. 7).
To learn that Wagner Park, one of the scenic and utilized components of that deliberate group, has been disrupted by the Battery Park Metropolis Authority is most upsetting and disheartening. Can’t this authority go away well-enough alone?

New York Metropolis’s new facility affords tailor-made assist to assist stabilize their lives and transfer in direction of everlasting housing.

EPA’s errors
Choose Glock argues that the Clear Air Act shouldn’t be used to handle greenhouse fuel air pollution as a result of no one was conscious of local weather change in 1970 (“Don’s CO2 Rollback Restores EPA Sanity,” PostOpinion, Aug. 7).
It is a blatant misreading of the regulation. The Clear Air Act has a broad definition of “air pollutant.” Greenhouse gases are explicitly referred to as out as air pollution within the laws as amended by Congress in 2022.
The regulation additional states that the EPA should regulate pollution “which can fairly be anticipated to hazard public well being or welfare.”
There’s a near-universal consensus that greenhouse fuel emissions endanger public well being.
Simply open your eyes and take a look at the warmth waves, wildfires, droughts and killer floods we’ve seen in 2025.
The EPA’s proposed repeal of the greenhouse fuel laws is a reckless act by an administration on a campaign to unwind essential environmental protections.

‘Puberty Palace’
My suggestion for DC’s juvenile delinquents is to spherical them up and begin a particular facility referred to as “Puberty Palace” (“Capital’s minor menace,” Aug. 7).
They’ll have a singular place of their very own, simply not on our streets!
