I don't know if anyone else is like this, but I can't help but be slightly amused, when in the same thread that some people are thinking that this is a lost cause, other's are claiming the the exponential growth of solar and wind power will ensure nuclear's niche status (and which seems to imply that the problem is essentially already solved, we just have to wait a decade or two, "global cooperation" or not).

The problem of us using fossil fuels is essentially solved over a long enough timeline (60-100 years). The issue with global warming is that the amount of warming that can happen before it triggers certain irreversible events is on a shorter timeline than this (25-40 years).
