Amen to that. Now, if only there were some organized international body made up of thousands of scientists, devoted to pure research on the topic of climate change.
In all seriousness, you're right. We do need to get politics out of this discussion and focus on the science. But that means getting the Timothy Balls out of the conversation. We wouldn't let Greenpeace participate in a climate change conference, would we? Let's have a discussion that gets rid of people with axes to grind, corporate-funded think-tank types, shills like Dr. Ball, Greenpeace, those guys--let's get rid of all of them and have a real conversation based on sound science to answer two questions:
1. What are the causes of climate change?
2. To what extent is it possible to stop it?
3. How can we develop alternate sources of energy?
I suspect that nuclear energy is part of the answer, but I'm no expert.
