Read about the topics and form an opinion after reading, not the other way around. You are deeply misinformed. Climate change is not a good thing for the planet nor is it for us.

If it was harmful, I’d support nuclear power development as the surest way to reduce emissions. After all, the Volt will be largely powered by coal and nuclear plants. </i> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warming the planet will cause huge problems. First, not every place on the plant will get warmer. Some places may actually get cooler due to changing climate patterns. Polar regions and high elevations will become much warmer. Melting of ice and snow in Greenland and Antarctica will cause the oceans to rise, but this will take a while. A more immediate problem is the disappearance of snow and ice in high elevations. This snow melt feeds rivers and aquifers during the dry seasons. Without it, we will have water shortages, droughts, etc. Then there is the warming of the oceans. The total number of tropical storms is about the same, but the number of deadly hurricanes has doubled or tripled. There is also a lot more severe storms. So what we'll have is more droughts, more floods, more water shortages, more tornadoes, but the temperature in most places will feel about the same. You might want to think about supporting nuclear, or other fuel sources that are carbon free. #81 Shawn Marshall Says: I think a little CO2 warming the planet is a good thing if it works.
