I could name you hundreds of air accidents, do you still fly? Nuclear power has advanced since those designs were built. Those types of reactors will never be approved to be built ever again.

No proof, huh? I think you were right with the following except it applies to you. Exquisite projection.

I love it. Then what's the problem?

The Jimmy Carter ban on breeder reactors was just lifted in 2005, so we are way behind in technology, it won't be ready till 2020. The government has to provide assistance here, since it isn't cost effective vs natural gas, but all the liberal subsidies went to Solar/Wind.

If the human race survives in 1000 years, history will show it was the mismanagement of the climate by liberals that killed the planet. In their quest for control of government, liberals block or destroyed any engineering solution to address the problem. They only want the votes, they don't want the solution to the problem.

Sorry, but your political bent has obviously blinded you.

Left leaning websites producing fraudulent, misleading charts is a great example of what I'm talking about.

Just let this thread die! We are pilots. None of us are qualified to end this debate. At best, we cherry-pick facts that support our beliefs. Do you think the meteorologist forum has a thread discussing CRM?

"Jet fuel is the fourth most-used petroleum product in the United States. About 1.6 million b/d of jet fuel was consumed in 2016."

So anyone who really BELIEVES that fossil fuels are paving the way to global catastrophe has to be a total hypocrite to be in this business.

Exactly, so what is the overwhelming consensus of the scientists and the data?

The data shows the earth is warming, the models show it is caused primarily by green house gases other than CO2.(Mostly methane, and industrial gases used to make electronics.) If CO2 was the primary driver of global warming, it would be much hotter than it is right now, this is an indisputable fact.

True, because water vapor contributes as much as 70% of the greenhouse effect, but CO2 is the second biggest contributor and potentially the most controllable. Nice try though.
