RE: global warming
Hi all,
We've had a lot of discussion here about fossil fuels, CS gases, but nothing about Nuclear Energy as a possible ozone layer friendly energy source.
I know that NE was the 'flavour of the month' some decades ago and then fell into the Devil's latrine due to bad press from exploding reactors and millenium lasting spent fuel radiation problems, but the latest reactors are a new breed and more and more countries are quietly increasing their percentage of nuclear power produced electricity.
How do you feel about nuclear power? It would be nice if we could keep emotion out of this, so cold hard facts please, and in the meantime I'll mug up on the latest from Nuke News and get back to you.

RE: global warming
I came across a pretty decent site the BBC have on the global warming issue:
[DLMURL] http://www.bbc.co.uk/climate/ [/DLMURL]
There are various pages here, audio interviews, a decent list of further sites, and a forum. Though not much room is given to skeptics. The tendency is unlike on this thread to assume global warming is certainly caused by man, and then to take it from there.
Hi Leo,
I think that's a 'brave' and legitimate point, on nuclear energy. That it might at least be considered for discussion here if only to get rejected. My feeling is that it's a hard one to usefully discuss and debate however. One thing is that there will tend to be emotive reactions, knee-jerk or media-programmed reactions, in many of us. Another thing or problem is that few if any of us can claim to truly know the scientific facts about whether any latest-generation NE plants are 'safe'. Greenpeace will make the sign of the cross at the very suggestion, while any scientists or politicians backing NE will of course assure us that everything is perfectly safe. How to know and who to believe?
I can't help but say that I do have that knee-jerk reaction against it. And even if a reactor is 100% safe while working, what's the science on what can be done with the produce afterward? Don't we always end up with radioactive material that has to be dumped somewhere? And in so many nations, don't some forms of reactor just add to the amount of nuclear material available for the production of nuclear bombs by either governments or terrorists?
If a wind turbine breaks down, that's all it is and we can fix it. We know what happens if a nuclear reactor goes wrong - it is very bad news. But for one I'm trying to be open to any convincing argument.

RE: global warming
Dear All
I posted an article about the latest news in respect of the earth changes. The article included Dry/Ice Global warming revealed, the melting poles, and the North Pole melting. The thread 'Earth Changes' which featured the article was deleted from HP due to the fact that the article has appeared on another forum in the US unrelated to the author. Most of these articles are sent to me by the Universal Alliance News Agency for distribution.
So to those of you that would like to view this article in full you can access it here.

RE: global warming
Hi all,
I can heartily recommend the article that Kim refers to - it's long, a bit political but the author has gathered together a lot of good hard scientific facts - in short a good read for an open mind. I myself have printed it out as an aide-memoir.
Thank you Kim for your reference to the article, unfortunately it seems one has to be a member of the forum to view and so, if you are not a member, here is another reference:
