Time: 'Be worried, be very worried'

Even a whole wind farm only produces a fraction of the power of a regular gas power plant. You would literally need to fill a whole country with wind generators just to make up for a few power plants worth!

Nuclear is the only near-term solution

i dont understand why we have turned to nuclear power much more strongely. it is BY far the most efficient, its the cleanest, and is very replenishable. the only byproduct of nuclear power is steam and the nuclear waste. although they have found ways to safely contain nuclear waste inside carbon nanotubes. with money put to good use, we can solve any of our power problems with nuclear plants and stop polluting so much.

quick, someone figure out cold fusion.

Basically? Because of fear...

It's DEFINATELY nowhere near as obvious and apparent as 100 reports seem to make it (all of which are funded by organisations that are set to profit from global warming awareness).

Tbh, at the moment scientists still are awful at predicting and fully understanding local weather systems, let alone the climate of an entire planet. There are even signs we might have another ice age!

Storage of the waste isn't as simple as you make it sound. Transportation of the waste is still a pain in the backside, not to mention possible hazards. You stick all this waste in underground bunkers, yet should the worst happen - natural disaster, war, etc etc - if that waste gets into the ground, we're done for. Nuclear waste is a big issue. Cold fusion would be the answer to all our problems, hopefully it won't be too late.

Oh and by the way (whoever mentioned London being underwater), it's already happening. That's why we have the pretty large flood barriers built in the Thames.

Average body weight of individuals is increasing, so we should make all major gyms hook up treadmills to power plants and create electricity by making everyone get off their butts to work out.

breakerfall, it was like last year they figured out how to use carbon nanotubes to isolate nuclear waste. if they start actually them, it obviously wouldnt be as simple as i have said here, but regardless, carbon nanotubes would make for a completely safe method of containing waste.

Yeah, the Aqua bees are comming, we're pretty much fucked, but as far as global warming goes we need to find a solution fast because listening to "it's might be closer than we think! we're going to die sooner!" is pretty old
