White House to unveil dire climate warning in new report

It was the result of a study... No more need be said
Only a massive volume of bank transfers can save us now.
If you don't mind glow in the dark wildlife. One thing for sure about nukes is that they will kill everything on the planet.
WE don't even have any coal plants in BC yet. Never going to have nukes.
Modern coal plants don't emit anymore than gas fired plants. And how is that nuke powered car of yours doing.
In this thread we learn that Chernobyl and Fukushima disqualify nuclear energy development and studies are bad.
I'm 100% behind uranium and nuclear development. It makes oil sands look like a sand box at a daycare.
I learned that you have no idea what you are talking about today.
Our findings also have important implications for large-scale "fuel switching" to natural gas from coal or from nuclear. Although natural gas burning emits less fatal pollutants and GHGs than coal burning, it is far deadlier than nuclear power, causing about 40 times more deaths per unit electric energy produced (ref. 2).
Also, such fuel switching is practically guaranteed to worsen the climate problem for several reasons. First, carbon capture and storage is an immature technology and is therefore unlikely to constrain the resulting GHG emissions in the necessary time frame. Second, electricity infrastructure generally has a long lifetime (e.g., fossil fuel power plants typically operate for up to ~50 years). Third, potentially usable natural gas resources (especially unconventional ones like shale gas) are enormous, containing many hundreds to thousands of gigatonnes of carbon (based on ref. 6). For perspective, the atmosphere currently contains ~830 GtC, of which ~200 GtC are from industrial-era fossil fuel burning.
We conclude that nuclear energy — despite posing several challenges, as do all energy sources (ref. 7) — needs to be retained and significantly expanded in order to avoid or minimize the devastating impacts of unabated climate change and air pollution caused by fossil fuel burning.

Yes the climate does change and droughts do happen.

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through. Pray for rain!

NOAA is predicting a 78% chances of El Nino this winter. Ideally, it'll be a big-but-not-too-big El Nino.
