Re: Nuclear Power Des NOT Need Gobal Warming Hoax!

John, 



No offense, but turn your questions around.  What makes you so sure 

that global  warming, if real, wouldn't happen without any help from 

us?  Have you made a thorough  and fair evaluation of all the 

evidence, both for and against? Questions like this take a  huge 

investment in time and effort to evaluate.  If you do make the effort, 

you get very  little to show for it because most folks will pass over your 

educated conclusions in favor  of Hollywood's reality of choice. 



The quotes you give are not very 'suasive.  I personally warm the 

planet every time I  microwave my lunch, so yes, "There is no doubt 

that humans are warming the planet."     The other quote, "Few 

scientists dispute evidence the world is warming," isn't proof of  

anything either.  I don't dispute movie critics when they say a movie is 

a "must see" but  that's not because I agree with them.  The writer of 

your article wishes the 1st quote to  seem to prove global warming, 

and the second to seem to prove that most scientists  agree with that 

conclusion.  This article goes on the shelf somewhere between  

"propaganda" and "how to make sure articles are sensational enough 

to sell". 



I know little about climate science, but I do know something about 

radiation.  It seems to  me that the people making unfounded 

statements about nuclear energy/radiation are  the pretty much the 

same people predicting the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario.  So,  they 

have a credibility problem.
