<DIV>The irony! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As some promote nuclear power to substitute for CO2 emitting fossil fuel
energy, we read this suggestion to use nuclear power to assist in
fossil fuel development and use, and thus facilitate increased CO2
emissions... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We hear the skeptics about human induced global warming talk about the
uncertainties of climate science, questioning the necessity of taking dramatic
action to reduce CO2 emissions. Of course, if the Earth's climate was
being considered for an insurance policy against damages, and there was a 50%
chance of the estimates of damage from human induced global warming predicted
by the IPCC coming true, no insurance company would offer protection, or the
price would be astronomical. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This website below at first struck me as a extremist and unscientific
analysis of the threat of human induced global warming, but after careful
reading, it now seems like a warning from the point of view of a worst case,
though possible, scenario, backed mostly by credible
climate science. There is a section on the damage to the insurance
industry from severe climate change: </DIV>
