Not another CC thread >_<.
Climate change is real, there is zero debate on it. Where the debate comes in is whether or not humans have an impact on it, i.e. have we sped it up / made it worse.
Scientific community is pretty much at a consensus, that yes, we've somehow ****ed it up.
Peak oil is a theory of how oil production will continue over the next century or so. Basically, we're about to top off, and then start a decline as oil reserves slowly dwindle. The thing is that demand will continue to rise exponentially while this production falls. No big deal though, it's just going to cause fuel prices worldwide to rocket upward. It's not like oil drives the world economy or anything, so I'm sure you'll hardly notice."Peak oil"? Is that a term for when it finally runs out? That's easy, we turn to alternative fuels, and for other purposes oil is used for, we turn to oil generated from algae farms. Not sure on the details, but I've read about the theory all over the place, and when I attended the NYLF a few years ago, the team who won the absolute first place for their "Future Solutions" project did something along those lines. Really, I can't wait for oil to run out.
That's the most shortsighted thing I've read in a while. Well done.Fresh water becoming scarce, now THAT is just jibber-jabber. Purifying water is a cinch. I don't think it'll ever be a problem.
Where, pray tell, do you think they get uranium from? Think about the logistics of mining uranium, and transporting it to the power plant, not to mention handling it after it has been spent, and say that again.Last time I checked, there was nothing oil dependent on our power plants. Especially not nuclear plants.

They're looking to make a metal hydride alloy to store hydrogen. All you do to extract the hydrogen is heat the thing, no mucking about with explosive gas.The only problem with that thing is is that when it blows it blows bigtime.
Needless to say, we'll have this planet ****ed long before the sun does it with its supernova explosion or whatever in 5 billion years :SGlobal warming is something natural. Global warming has happend before, but ice-ages balanced it out. Mankind has sped everything up, so now we can only hope that an ice-age comes on time before everything is f'd.
