the only solution to global warming is....read on

Nuclear weapons release a lot of energy. A significant amount of this will end up as heat energy - contributing to Global Warming itself amongst other obvious effects.

Was your contribution to Indymedia some sort of joke? Do you think your contribution will be taken seriously?

but nuclear power does produce CO2 in the mining, transport of waste, construction of new plants etc etc.

and the uranium will also run out eventually- in fact not that long in the future

we still haven't sorted the problem of waste disposal for our current waste- let alone tonnes more

new nulear power stations would take 15-20 years to build- too late by then i'm afraid if we carry on as we are now

and nuclear only produces electricity- it does nothing to solve the other sectors that produce masses of CO2, like transport, construction and farming/food production.

for some good figures on nuclear, see paul mobbs research. his book energy beyond oil should get you moving in the right direction.

I BLAME THE "ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA" (ELO) FOR GLOBAL WARMING.
THE BLOODY GREAT SPACE SHIP OF THEIRS THEY USED IN 1978 TO CIRCLE AROUND WEMBLEY ARENA OR WAS IT THE EMPIRE POOL WEMBLEY I FORGET.
HOW MUCH CO2 DID THAT BUGGER PRODUCE.

For the record, some believe anarchists pulled down the Twin Towers on 9/11 - the opening day of the largest arms-trade fair (DSEi). Allegedly, there is documentary evidence that the real people responsible for the 'terrorist attacks' read up on wild theories about how nuclear war would bring about a 'socialist utopia' due to the collapse of the global-capitalist petro-dollar. As it happened, we did get nuclear war, unfortunately with depleted (instead of enriched) uranium munitions.
For the record, the first people with the news that 'only Osama could be responsible' were 'aviation experts' that worked for Janes' Information Group, then owners of 'Spearhead' - organisers of the DSEi. This vested interest was not made clear to the global audience - they had re-runs of collapsing towers to watch, making each and every one of them a zombie. Had some analysis of the 'Osama' story been made the threats made to 'disarm the arms-traders' might have been made.
To quote Max Planck:
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it”
The same applies to 'historical truths'. The current generation of 'zombies' will die never understanding 9/11 and a future generation will come along, wondering what the difficulty was with the self-evident. They will understand how a small insurrectionary-anarchist group forced the hand of the world - either revolution or war. They will also appreciate the lengths the 'zombies' went to in order to not get found out for being completely out of line: giving up all meaningful government and no longer caring about rational spending of the public purse.
Clearly the current situation is hopeless for the 'zombies' trapped with their silly little 9/11 'al-qaeda' beliefs. Maybe it is best they nuke themselves before they gas themselves with their silly little cars? It does not matter really, people determined to believe that Osama bin Laden is responsible for pulling down the Twin Towers (instead of some really clever anarchists) are as relevant to history as the people that thought Catholics burned London to the ground in 1666. People that support witch-hunts offer nothing positive to the bigger historical narrative. Their stupidity is proportionate to how long they were fooled for, if this is lifelong their lives will not have been worth living. The 9/11 light is best seen, even if it is a s-c-a-r-y truth, with responsibilities for those in the know, now including you!
