Human pollution is a sad thing and yes something should be done, but so is starvation, slavery, oppression, injustice, drug addiction, drunkenness, domestic violence.. but why try to manage those are they too hard or is it that they don’t turn a quid
.
Historic Climate Change is just that .Sonia has taken the trouble to show much evidence that it is with us now
. there can be no argument on that.. but even those facts are being used by vested interests to make humans feel they are the only cause.. But what we face is a change in the climate that history shows us is a fact of living on this planet..Can we fix it with nuclear power yes of course we can (not) .. Can we fix it with unbridled gluttony ..why of course we can (not) .. Can we take from this planet and never give back ..why of course we can (not)... Can we sprout our concerns leaning out of the window of a limo on the way to our private jet ????..... hypocrisy means you are a caring person doesn’t it???
.
Could the concern of our politicians go past buying nuclear power and desalinators to implement a program to see less waste of energy..less energy wasted means less omissions and that what we all want is it not? Well the market system fails us here because power companies and oil companies want us to use more power not less. I am silly enough to wish they could act in our interests not vested interests
.
.
The well informed say we need to reduce green house gas as much as we can (a target of 40% reduction’s was seen as optimistic but needed) and even that optimistic reduction will never never stop the Historic Climate Change we are experiencing now
. Experts see any reduction as simply buying a little more time.. nothing more
.. but the real issue is the climate is getting hotter and we need to address the big issues that arise from dealing with a hotter planet..do these experts think nuclear power is the answer..definitely not as that really avoids addressing the real issue and wasting investement on a finite resourse. As a finite fuel with a world monopoly on fuel supply for the planet nuclear fuel will become more expensive , that is how a market works.. look at oil is it getting cheaper as supplies run lower?
. We must accept that the planets climate is changing and realistically prepare for that time which does not mean simply buying nuclear power
.
We can not stop Historic Climate Change. It is very doubtful that we can even get humans to reduce greenhouse by even 40% (which is at best a stalling tactic) The facts that say bigger issues need to be addressed not just spend our cash on band aids sold by opportunists of the Sky is Falling Corporation. This is what “not real “ experts are saying who also say nuclear power is not an answer but will add to the problem. There are other folk out there who see the opportunity to sell nuclear power and desalination plants trying to pass off that buying their products will stop Historic Climate Change or “Global Warming”. They are opportunists ready to take advantage of a very serious problem that their products will not fix
. .
If Nuclear Power is the answer the uranium mines in Australia must be nationalized
. Does Australia still own the yellow cake
..mmm I doubt it.. Nationalize the mines and I bet the global warming won’t be in our face every day because the vested interests will see no profit. I mean how ridiculous we have the most important fuel on the planet and we don’t control it we only get to store the waste.
