    Unfortunately no matter what we do here on earth we will NEVER be able to prevent any form of "climate change". Why!? Well look at that big ball in the sky, unless you can control that your never going to be able to do very much to prevent the climate from doing what it has for billions of years -change

    We all know that green house gasses trap heat from the sun but lets all remember where that heat comes from -the sun! The sun is not a big light bulb that glows the same way every time every day. It changes, relativity sightly, and outputs different amounts of energy based on how "active" it is. FYI, the activity of the sun is indicated by the number of sunspots present. If you like to base your beliefs about things on cool looking graphs with low error ratios then check out a graph of global temp vs sun spot numbers, you'll find that the ratio is much much closer then even the relation between co2 and temp. We all love the planet but it is important for us to acknowledge all the facts and not only the ones that Hollywood gives us :D

    Also with reference to post above about nuclear power: I love how the issue has truly come full circle, to allow some to under stand what I am talking about a quick history: The idea of Global Warming came after the whole Global Cooling scare (thank good we did nothing to try to heat the planet to save earth or we would be in trouble now lol) it was used by Margret Thatcher to promote the construction of nuclear power plants. Gov scientists were tasked to "prove" that such a thing existed so that a "clean" nuclear power plant could be promoted as the only option. The idea did not really work and the story was soon forgotten until another time...
    nuclear power is a great solution to energy problems especially in the US #1 price per KW is very low making it great for customers. #2 the cooling towers can actually be used to make oil! #3 They are safe and new ones are even safer! #4 New developments in entrainment now allows for higher grade fuel rods and consume 70+% less power than old designs.

    And let me guess, they're still going to tax the motorists for destroying the world.

    Last time I checked the earth has been "cooling" and not "heating up" over the last 8 years, also surface temp was increasing at a faster rate than atmospheric temp meaning that the "previous" warming tread could not be the result of additional green house gasses...

    "if the worse of global climate change (AKA global warming)" - I just wanted to point out that the earth warming is not the worst climate change we could have. In fact it would be much much worse for the earth to substantially cool.
