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."

so you've split this "water" that keep bandying about, but what IS water really? It's like birds. What ARE birds? We just don't know...

Are you serious? Do you not realize that if car exhausts are destroying the Earth, if, then it's a problem of excess - too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing the Earth to heat up, whereas a lesser amount would have little impact. If only the rich were to drive SUVs, then it wouldn't be excess, now would it?
