Why are enviormentalists against nuclear power, when it doesn't give off the smog causing air pollution or so called green house gases that burning coal for power does?

Let me ask you a question.IF you were in a position of certain power,and had developed a certain type of technology that can be implanted into the human body.That can trigger the minipulation of the jetstream,simply by someones depleating food consumption.I don't need proof that this technology exists.I've lived with it almost the lenth of time i've tried to report it up to todays date, and almost up to the aprox seconds.Lets see,11yrs 9 months 3hours and counting.You see,somthing went terrabably wrong and they know it! So far i'm the only one that can explaine it." I dare anyone to prove me wrong." Now you tell me,which story would you tell the public.My quess is it would be,The Inconvenient Truth.How am i doing.I have so much to tell, but im not going to be tell it on line.I could prove what i'm saying simply by telling you to watch the weather forcast for the week,and have you watch me change it.You've all seen and herd the Meteorologists screw ups,how do think that happenes?

When at the Indy 500 this year they announced that they were able to go to a 100% ethanol based fuel and was getting better MPG so they reduced the size of the fuel tank from 30gal to 22gal. Why can't any of the Auto makers apply this technology to Passenger cars and trucks?

...and thus the amount of pollutants we emit?
Should we just be happy to sit back and let nature find its own solution - which it most certainly will - and take it for granted that human-kind will still be around to play a part in that future? Isn't it just our conditioning to 'convenience foods' and 'labour-saving' devices that lead us to accept an easy way out of the dilemma by believing (or hoping) that the forecasts for climate change are just scaremongering? Would it really 'hurt' us to cut back on waste or save money on energy bills?
Is it so bad to walk more or cycle? Don't we owe it to future generations to allow them a future! We don't Own thnis earth - we just hold it in trust for our children

I want to defend the position that humans are contributing to global warming by using scientific evidence and peer reviewed articles. Damn near everything I can find on line is just people jabbering their un-scientific opionions. I want some hard proof. can anyone point me in the right direction. (this is for me to disscuss with my friends, not for anything acedemnic or profesional)

Just a few examples regarding the guy who says "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin.":

He & the Tipster live in a 10,000 square foot mansion with 20 rooms & 8 bathrooms in Nashville, TN. (Wonder what THAT light bill looks like!)

That is, when he isn't hanging for a few days in Washington, DC in his 4,000 square foot home in Arlington, VA (just a small place for quick trips to the seat of power, don'tcha know).

In neither home does he take advantage of using electricity produced by wind power. Utility companies in both cities offer this option at an extra cost of 2-3 cents per kilowatt hour. In addition to being a fraud, maybe Algae the Green Guy is cheap, too?

Ol' Al owns quite a large chunk of stock in Occidental Petroleum - an oil company that has been mired for years in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Talk about inconvenient truths!!!

Scientists are reporting that the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are also increasing in overall temperatures. So if man is the CAUSE, that means we must be on those worlds too. If not, then Global Warming is a Natural Development.

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project, he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."

And for plenty of good reasons, since:

1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. It is a major component in acid rain
3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. Accidental inhalation can kill you
5. It contributes to erosion
6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

So, the question is, would you sign this petition? Or not? And give a reason. I'll post the outcome of his survey in 3 hours. Check back to see!!

Star if you're intrigued!

For Example, during the 1930's Eugenics was the big deal, I t was beleived that mentaly handicapped people, and the like should not be allowed to breed. Hundreds of scientists supported the theory,it had the suport of the national academy of sciences, and American medical association, and the national reserch council..Germany took it further ,and put the theory to practice., Jews where considered as inferior, and millions died as a result.
Some where some one has a hidden agenda,, News reports about Global warming are beginning to have us beleive it is more than a theory..As if mere man can effect the weather ??
