Is a Climate Disaster Inevitable?
- CapitalistCartr 12y agoI think we made an unfortunate wrong turn at Global Warming. The truth is we don't know what will happen, which is the real danger. Acidifying the oceans, warming might not be the worst thing to happen by a wide margin. We don't know doesn't motivate people; they want answers. But the real danger is in the unknown; far worse than what we do know.
- ElectronCharge 12y agoI don't think "climate disaster" is inevitable. Right now temperatures are tracking substantially below the models, even as we head beyond 400 PPM CO2 concentration. Regardless, it's still a win/win to replace dirty coal power with clean nuclear. "Renewable" energy has its place, but we need clean, non-intermittent baseline power. Lots of it.
