That is nuts.
Okay, I'll agree with that -- but I also agree with Jay Maynard that
there is a "bandwagon" here that is quite compelling to researchers
all over the world. And if you're not on it, you're not in the
money.
So, setting aside, for the moment, the debate over whether it's real
or not, I'm still waiting to hear from you what can realistically be
done by humans to "save the planet" from global climate change.
And I mean things that are real, not "switch to solar power" or
"build more wind mills" -- which are nice, warm-fuzzy things to do
that (unfortunately) have a negligible impact on our energy
production needs. No matter how much everyone wishes for it, we're
not going to escape our need for big-box power plants that run on
fossil or nuclear fuels -- at least not unless we're willing to
largely dismantle modern society.
And, since I don't know anyone who is willing to do that, I submit
that you're worrying about the wrong things. Assuming you buy the
theory in the first place, the earth is going to warm up, sea levels
are going to rise -- and the REAL debate isn't how to stop it, but
how will humans adapt to it? That is a more logical place to direct
our intellectual and financial efforts, IMHO.

Nuclear power is an energy generation option, but not politically
feasible in the US.
The US already has nuclear power.

Just not enough of it.
