Re: The fact that you believe a nuclear plant can explode....

Graham,

Civilization(consumption/destruction) must collapse(‘mitigated') not for our consciousness, although that will be a necessary benefit, but because the scientists are saying Gaia will become uninhabitable if we don't. The only disagreement within climatology is how bad it's going to get, how many degrees of global temperature will rise. So far it's gone up 1 deg faren. I forget the actual percentage but the oceans are the greatest sink for CO2, and there's a time lag before it affects the climate. This means we already have another deg guaranteed. There's a possibility the permafrost in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is melting and about to release untold amounts of methane.

In the following video, which I posted before, Bill McKibben states the consensus among climatologists - unless we get off fossil fuels with "great speed" the temperatures in this century will go up at least 5 or 6 degrees - TOTAL FUBAR.
