concensus?:

A Gallup poll found that only 17 percent of the members of the Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Society think that the warming of the 20th century has been a result of greenhouse gas emissions - principally CO2 from burning fossil fuels.

Only 13 percent of the scientists responding to a survey conducted by the environmental organization Greenpeace believe catastrophic climate change will result from continuing current patterns of energy use.

More than 100 noted scientists, including the former president of the National Academy of Sciences, signed a letter declaring that costly actions to reduce greenhouse gases are not justified by the best available evidence.

kev.. with your credibility, it's best if you post where you have got your information from.

This thread has woken up. Nice.

Quick answer to the reactor. Yeah... a hell of a lot of energy is require to induce fusion. When it finally happens, a lot of energy is released. In the Tokamak, the heat would be gathered, and used to power turbine in order to generate energy for the lasers to keep the reaction going... (if memory serves correctly)

The reaction is similar to what happens in the center of the sun. Of course there, hydrogen and helium is a gas 17 time more dense than lead.

Ooooh... we have a nerd on our hands.

An inconvenient truth: Exxon wants to keep making money out of wasteful gas consumption even if it sends us all to hell

^ Amen

^ The middle class has always tried to emulate the rich, so no, it's not exxon, it's that other thing driving global warming...Ego.
