SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT▶In the Brief (Sept. 16), we

mischaracterized Iran’s involvement in the war in Yemen; Iran has supported

Houthi rebels there. We also misstated where NLMK USA buys steel slabs; its

overseas supplier is in Russia. In the same issue, in “Trust Us,” we misstated

the year in which Brad Smith returned to the U.S. from Paris and how many

summers he spent working on a farm; he returned in 1996 and worked on a

farm for one summer.

telephone and may be edited for purposes of clarity and space

WHAT YOU

SAID ABOUT. ..

how earth survived TIME’s Sept. 23

special issue on climate change took a hard

look at what the world could be like in

30 years—and young readers like Gabrielle

Prince, a 17-year-old in Lancaster, N.Y., felt

the urgency of that

date. She started her

school’s Environmen-

tal Action Club but

felt her “feet turning

cold” as this month’s

climate strike neared,

until she was “as-

sured” by former Vice

President Al Gore’s

essay encouraging

youth activism. “He

wrote of my heavy

burden. I cried on my

living room couch,” Prince wrote. “His words

could not have reached me at a better time.”

And young people weren’t the only ones

concerned. Joan Rose of Seal Beach, Calif.,

wrote that she won’t be alive in 2050 but wor-

ries that “if we continue to drag our feet, my

grandkids and great-grandkids will suffer.”

Patricia Faloon of Pittsburgh said her copy

of the issue is now next to her Bible, “encour-

aging me and others to ‘do the right thing.’ ”

But some readers, like Christopher P.S. Wil-

liams of Portland, Ore., felt it didn’t dive

deeply enough into certain key issues, such

as overpopulation and farmland use.

Others, like David

Boleneus of Spokane,

Wash., were still

unconvinced about

the harms of runaway

climate change, argu-

ing that “an apoca-

lypse is not coming.”

For David Gross of

Morganville, N.J., how-

ever, the end of the

world wasn’t the ques-

tion: “The Earth will

survive,” he wrote.

“The question is, will

humanity?”

‘We want

more green

in our

pockets at

the expense

of a green

world.’

HERBERT HAND,

Cordova, Tenn.

‘Species

come and

go all

through

this little

planet’s

history

and so will

the human

species.’

RICHARD J. QUIST,

Estero, Fla.

COMING SOON TIME Studios has

announced that Paradise Without

People—a feature-length documentary

that builds on TIME’s Emmy Award–

nominated reporting on the global

refugee crisis—will premiere in

October at the Woodstock Film

Festival in Woodstock, N.Y. Directed by

Francesca Trianni, the film follows two

young Syrian women who give birth

in the same Greek hospital, as they

and their families learn how much an

asylum seeker’s fate can depend on

luck. Find out more about additional
