'Does anyone have any data that "Climate Change" is even bad?'
Depends on what you consider "bad". But there seems to be a lot of material that climate changes is mostly negative economical and health wise for humans. (e.g., http://www.oecd.org/env/the-economic-consequences-of-climate-change-9789264235410-en.htm http://www.oecd.org/env/the-economic-consequences-of-climate... )
'Also, if everyone is SOOO concerned with CO2 emissions or waste in general why is Nuclear power not being discussed?'
It's impossible to escape the nuclear discussion on this topics. Many threads about anything climate or CO2 related are full of discussion of nuclear.
'It is only the most clean energy source on the planet considering waste to energy production lb for lb.'
I couldn't find any numbers on this, but I am willing to believe it. Could you provide a citation? I'd like to know more about it.
'Also, does anyone know the pollutants created making solar panels or super light weight material for wind mills?'
It has been in mainstream news and outlets a few times, so I assume most people are aware that toxic materials are used to produce solar panels. As far as I can tell from the reports I saw, these can be disposed of reliably, and fairly easily while still being safe. (unlike nuclear waste as far as I can tell.)
'If not, why not?'
Most people have limited capacities and do not concern themselves with everything.
'Point is most if not all of you haven't a clue'
This is true for most people on most topics and has never stopped anyone from forming an option, discussing it on hackernews, or call people that might actually have a clue out on not having a clue.
