The Gov want to build a sodding great coal fired power station?

Question

isn't that whats caused all this warming

Answer 1

Actually cecil, the largest scientific peer-reviewed organisations (NAS, AAAS, along with other acadmies) are overall in no dispute about global warming. These are the most reliable sources, with 1000's of independant-thinking scientists.

That doesn't mean there isn't debate though, far from it. Scientists want the fame of 'going against the norm', and so find the data to prove their hypothesise right, pretending the climate is simple relationships between certain things.

30 years ago, about 10% of scientists believed we were about to experience global cooling. The rest were still convinced about warming. No scientist or competant individual denies we're heading for an ice age, but no one knows for sure how much warming we will experience before it.

Coal is the "heaviest" fossil fuel by a long way, its the biggest contributer to atmospheric CO2.

Answer 2

Cecil get's my vote...give him the 10!

Answer 3

Cheap imported coal from Poland how boring..Better go nuclear

Answer 4

cecil said it all.. thumbs up

Answer 5

One giant step backwards. Coal should be reserved for the next civilization that'll spring up after ours implodes. We have the technology to convert to renewable resources. Sticking with fossil fuels is just plain lazy. Global warming or no.

Answer 6

Increase the damage while simultaneously taxing citizens to reverse it.  Brilliant.

Answer 7

Global warming, and for certain it's cause, is still under debate.  I for one believe it is junk science from the same sources that tried to convince us of an impending ice age 30 years ago.  Those who wish to do so may live in caves and eat twigs and bark.  As for me, I prefer electricity, indoor plumbing and all the rest that goes with civilization.l  Build away, the bigger the power station the better!
