I have told you this enough times.
Whats bad are things like CFCs, being wreckless with the environment, to much deforestation, and as you said GF we need to shift to nuclear the greens must stop opposing it. The issue with CO2 is like a slow burning cigarette i don't think we are in immediate danger, but you can't have this long term growth and use carbon to fuel it, that willl cause trouble, we will reach a no going back point, not now but 20 -30 years time if we do that.
