UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate

An anonymous reader writes "On the heels of a study that concluded there was less than a 1% chance that current global warming could be simple fluctuations, U.N. scientists say energy from renewables, nuclear reactors and power plants that use emissions-capture technology needs to triple in order keep climate change within safe limits. From The Washington Post: 'During a news conference Sunday, another co-chair, Rajendra K. Pachauri of India, said the goal of limiting a rise in global temperatures "cannot be achieved without cooperation." He added, "What comes out very clearly from this report is that the high-speed mitigation train needs to leave the station soon, and all of global society needs to get on board."'"

    Global warming is a motherfucking scam! We do not have the millions of years of data we require to prove that climate change is man made. Don't believe this shit for another motherfucking second. If you think you have the data that we need I want the full weather data from July 4, 1776 for the location where Las Vegas is presently located. If you can't provide this data you sure as hell can't prove global motherfucking warming!

    Because if Gaia continues to refuse to cooperate with climate models, the gig will be up and we'll never be able to squash the little economic freedom people have left.

    A rise in CO2 does not cause a rise in global temperature, it's the other way around. Temperature rises naturally first, then several hundred years later CO2 follows. Eventually temperate cools, then several hundred years later CO2 follows. These frauster liars are trying to usher in a worl government to save the planet, run by a small number of unelected tyrants.
