Can we scare ourselves out of "in-action" and catch up for a lost 30yrs!

If you want to truely understand the looming potential disaster of co2 vs lesser fears, you might like to read a little about fusion and fission to understand the short and long term alternatives to the problem we have created and a problem we HAVE to solve regards climate change and sustaining GAIA:

and remember FUSION is clean and safe (that may not sound politically correct but check it out) its the uranium and other radioactive elements which most are concerned for, regards current and past nuclear FISSION not fusion.

Even with fission you need to think again. Read chapter 5 "sources of energy" from Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock the Father of "GAIA" ie the long term natural balance of life and living sustaining this planet and why we and CO2 are the biggest short and long term threat to the planet and current human lifestyles!

Pages 112-127 of Revenge of gaia are especially interesting!

Do not think you know the answer without first researching what nuclear does and doesnt mean!

Ignore the historical view, revisit the reality in the light of the damage we have to resolve today.

If need be get another perseptive by searching my blog for the "weather makers" by Tim Flannery!

The eternal optimist in me says we find the solutions by seeking the facts and opening our minds and applying the wonder of mankind to the problems of our past mistakes. Its a very exciting challenge or should i say QUEST!
