It’s not so much that I don’t believe in climate change, I just don’t believe man is the totally responsible for it.

How can you not believe in anthropogenic climate change? The evidence is all around us. To me, a meteorologist, it is like debating the theory of gravity or ‘plate tectonics’.

The good thing is that man at least is trying to develop good clean ways of generating electricity.

I’m not sure about it burning radioactive waste. I’m pretty sure it can burn spent rods though.

That sounds good. Does that mean that we can get more energy out of all the radioactive waste, that has been stored in caves for decades? And as well reduce the amount of waste product considerably?

Anyways, wind, solar, etc. already provide a lot of the energy used today. Here in Denmark 20% of the electricity comes from wind power and with the plans already in progress, this amount will increase considerably in the near future. In Norway the majority of the electricity is produced in hydroelectric power plants, and some of it is sold to Denmark. It can be set up so that when we lack wind in Denmark, we can import extra electricity from Norway. When we have excess wind in Denmark, we can sell electricity back to Norway and they can save some water in high reservoirs for use when there is a lack of wind. Similar set-ups are being developed in Sweden and can be implemented numerous other places around the world. Hoover Dam on the border between Arizona and Nevada for example with the huge reservoir might be a good place.

From what I’ve heard Niels those types of renewable energy just doesn’t provide enough base load. I reckon the only renewable energy option is nuclear and I’ve heard they have made vast improvements so that the new stations can even produce power from the spent rods meaning no or little waste products.

I believe the best way to reduce pollution, is to focus on renewable, non-polluting energy such as solar, wind, waveenergy etc. I consider trade with carbon permits a scandal, that just reduces the amount of finances available for creating more renewable energy.

Interesting Mitch, but I’m not saying climate isn’t changing, just that man isn’t entirely at fault for it coming about.

By the way, Sire, you were looking for some kind of idea that things are starting to change? Here you go: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/science/earth/05methane.html?partner=EXCITE&ei=5043
