IF CHARLES Baker is really not smart enough to know that climate change is taking place and is caused by human activity, then he is not smart enough to be governor (“Baker ducks climate query,’’ Political Circuit, Metro, Feb. 7). Of course, when Baker claims, “I absolutely am not smart enough to believe I know the answer to that question,’’ another possibility presents itself: Perhaps Baker is smart enough after all, but lacks the courage to tell the truth to certain Republican activists.
So which is it: a candidate who is not smart enough or a candidate who is not honest enough?
