Some theists do make a better world; they're not all evangelistic profit seeking idiots. I reckon there are many good theists.
Yes, but it is all a question of perception.
I take my hat off to you. Having made some lengthy sceptical argument here it takes balls to offer an olive branch.
Lol, I don't see it as inconsistent, I am only restating what I stated previously as early as post 27:
Obviously the cleaner the energy and the cheaper the energy, the better. I like geothermal energy and most people do not 'want' pollution. I also like the idea of tidal energy.
No one really WANTS pollution do they? But we do want power and the change over needs to be done sensibly.
Interestingly enough, the U.S has inadvertently met the Kyoto CO2 targets

I think you're absolutely right to say clean cheap energy is the target, and it's doable - but effing urgent, O. Where's the will? I completely undersand your problem with such bollocks as carbon trading and all that profiteering, it's enough to make anyone suspicious, but I think there's an unfortunate conflation of that side with the real facts of the changing climate. Whether we have any ability to alter the path is debatable, but the only decent option is to try. It's the least we can do to make some atonement, perhaps, for our wanton, avaricious apery.
Yes I am concerned about the 'pay to pollute' scam and also my concern is with people like Jazzy who say, 'panic panic.. the sky is falling in... turn off the power, it matters not that people die'. There is no proof that 'climate change' is being adversely affected by man to significant degree, it is even possible any affect may be beneficial. Climate has always changed and why do we suppose it must stop changing at this exact moment. It is ridiculous.
That is not to say that clean and safe energy should not be actively pursued. I think, as previously stated, viable cheap and safe power has been suppressed. Tesla was not allowed to bring it to reality. Huge amounts of thermal and electrical power are available naturally and I believe could be harnessed. And no, I cannot prove it.
What idiots build nuclear power stations on fault lines and where they are susceptible to tsunamis? Nuclear power is not safe. It is open to accident and sabotage or simply direct attack.

There is talk of mining HE-3 from the Moon.

btw, it's anthropogenic!! the other means 'human-shaped'! I've done it meself! x
I may start a trend lol. I have faith in people understanding.
