Slashdot Mirror
Creator of the Gaia Hypothesis Urges Nuclear Power
SteamyMobile writes "Professor James Lovelock, creator the Gaia Hypothesis and long-time intellectual leader of the Green movement, says that global warming is a dire threat, more urgent than was previously realized. He compares the threat of global warming with the threat of the Nazis in 1938, and says that in both cases, the Left was not able to grasp the urgency of the situation and see the necessary solution. What is the necessary solution to stop the global warming problem? He says it's nuclear power. Needless to say, the Greens don't agree with him, and he chides them as having irrational phobias of a safer, cleaner energy sources. Even if the "Left" isn't fully aware of the urgency of the world's energy problems, it seems like Slashdot is."
overheard in springfield, ??:
excellent!
Wow, the OP compared global warming to nazis, thus invoking Godwin's law before the discussion even started.
I have no choice but to declare this thread officially closed...
not much else to say than that. seems like a pretty bleak future is ahead if we cant figure this out.... maybe even if we can
This is Slashdot, where all futures are bleak. Kill yourself now (but give me your boxes first)
Well, it isn't all bad. Some reefs are going to die, while others expand. And perhaps a few of the reefs will even evolve to live in warmer waters. If worst comes to worst we could always genetically engineer them to do that ;)
The everyday version gets 60mpg does it? What car might this be? Some sort of miracle car? or is it an insight? You know on Mars we get 100mpg daily. Then again the gravity is only a fourth of what it is on earth so we just pick up our cars and throw them.
