As opposed to people who work for organizations, government bodies whose sole existence is predicated on global warming being real? No, no incentive there to keep the global warming myth going.

Don't be so gullible! Did you see this link in the article?

The ignorant and those who cultivate that ignorance are NEVER swayed by
facts, logic, nor reality. They cultivate ignorance to instil
fear..phobia actually, for fun and profit. Blochead and chrissy pooh are
particularly fertile ground for the cultivators of ignorance...

pity and ridicule are really the only valid responses ...actual debate
is an impossibility here.

Your posts demonstrate the case. You refuse to accept facts.

I must admit that you *will* have an uphill battle in trying to convince me that
oil companies are better judges of the validity of global warming than scientists
- science being about the study of nature following a discipline of rigorously
struggling against one's hopes and biases as well as other sources of error.

But it certainly _is_ tempting to deny global warming when the only remedy on
offer is going back to the dark ages. That, people are not going to do until it
is "too late" to avoid whatever disasters global warming might lead to, which
even an idiot should be able to realize.

So there _is_ a political agenda operating, it's just at the *next step* - not
the scientists who have found out about global warming, but the activists and
the news media who get all the attention.

Address global warming, and _not_ give up all our modern conveniences?

It's been discovered fairly recently that the nuclei of certain isotopes of
some heavy elements can be induced, under the bombardment of relatively
slow-moving neutrons ("thermal neutrons"), to split into two parts of roughly
equal size, plus some additional neutrons, releasing a rather large amount of
energy. Those additional neutrons can split other such atoms, leading to what
is called a "chain reaction".

In fact, uranium fission has been proven to be a practical source of electrical
energy, and is already in use in public utilities in several locations world-
wide. As well, while U-235 is a rare isotope of uranium, nuclear reactors
produce enough extra neutrons that both the most common isotope of uranium,
U-238, and that of thorium, Th-232, can be transformed into fissionable fuels
for nuclear power. (The former process has been proven in practical use; some
engineering work needs to be done on thorium breeders, but it's nothing like
the obstacles that have kept fusion power a prospect for the distant future.)

It may be noted that while thorium is not a constituent of granite, it is
present in basalt in a sufficient concentration that it is not hyperbole to
regard thorium fission as approaching the potential inexhaustibility of fusion
power.

Really? When I have to run a heater in June? My air conditioning
hasn't been on since last summer.
