Thread Name: BS: Global warming, yes/no?
Subject: RE: BS: Global warming, yes/no?
Here's more:

Yes, let's conserve energy and resources. Yes, let's do what we can to eliminate pollution. Yes, let's recycle where and what we can. Yes, let's find alternate energy sources. Solar makes a lot of sense for some things. Wind makes sense for a few things. Nuclear power makes the most sense for most things but people have a lot of irrational fears about it. And we have to do all this without depriving people of living wages and freedom, and with only moderate changes in lifestyle. Otherwise, folks, it's not going to work. There is simply too much inertia. And a bunch of bureaucrats, diplomats, and scare-mongerers isn't going to do it. It's going to take some dedicated scientists, competent engineers, and a good measure of divine inspiration to solve these problems. Now I think I've said enough.
