So we're supposed to trust these guys now? Back in the 60's-70's it was going to be Global Ice Age as a result of CFCs. Now it's Global Warming. The fact is, we can't predict a hurricane track or weather a week in advance with current methods.
Assuming they're even telling us the truth about the data, we have no idea what it means for the future because the variables involved are so varied and poorly understood that the accuracy of the data is virtually meaningless.
I fail to understand the fixation against burying the waste. We didn' t create nuclear fuel out of thin air, we mined it from the ground! Yes, we processed it to make it more potent and pure for our purposes, and then we consumed much of the energy from it. It makes sense to return it to the ground, with proper precautions.
In the meantime we need to work on improving that process and discovering viable alternative sources of energy.
It amazes me that detractors are on here burning up electrons while complaining about the future production of them.
