Very true. The evidence is out there. Atmospheric content can be traced thousands & thousands of years back. They were doing this long before Al Gore made his movie. At some point it's just common sense. But that's not a common trait anymore. And whoever said Nuclear fission is green & clean, wow, how clueless are you?.
the issue in my eyes is very much connected to the code of conduct within the US conservatives. they are willing to sacrifice any thing to get and stay in power. it is very necessary that the US people realise that. there is something fundamentally wrong with the right fundamentalists.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgXCE-CtUSY&mode=related&search= what i find so puzzeling is that these people can say two things at the same time: we do not know at all what is going on, because it is so complex, but we know for sure it is not CO2 that is a concern. what a coincidence that this is in line with the economic interest of the "big" ones ...
do you guys know a place where one can follow the debate between the opponents more "live"? a climate forum or something of that kind?

Are you one of the "tree-huggers?" http://www.physicstoday.org/vol-56/iss-12/p34.html "MIT Study Sees Nuclear Power as Green Weapon Against Global Warming" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/14/AR2006041401209_pf.html "In the early 1970s when I helped found Greenpeace, I believed that nuclear energy was synonymous with nuclear holocaust, as did most of my compatriots. That's the conviction that inspired Greenpeace's first voyage up the spectacular rocky northwest coast to protest the testing of U.S. hydrogen bombs in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Thirty years on, my views have changed, and the rest of the environmental movement needs to update its views, too, because nuclear energy may just be the energy source that can save our planet from another possible disaster: catastrophic climate change."
Good analogy. People always second guess preventive measures. They should instead be thankful that the disaster didn't happen, probably thanks to the measures taken.
