Global warming coming faster and sooner

[glockmail]

Nuclear will be a part of the solution. However, the cost will keep it from being a major part. Natural gas? For every ton of CH4 burned, over two tons of CO2 are produced. Why should I embrace natural gas?

What is the greenhouse impact of the CH4 that leaks from shallow deposits into the atmosphere compared to the CO2 when it is burned?

Funny. That's basically what this guy says:

Bellamy is mostly a washed up 72 year old Quack. That news paper article you dug up looks like a tabloid rag.

David J. Bellamy (born 1933) is an English professor, botanist, author, broadcaster and environmental campaigner. of denying global warming, and he has expressed a very public opposition to windfarms. A typographical error in a recent letter he published in the New Scientist (April 16th, 2005) suggested a large percentage (555 of 625!!) of the world's glaciers were advancing, not retreating. This was a gift for global warming deniers, but turned out to be untrue and misleading, after George Monbiot got on the detective trail.

Wildlife groups axe Bellamy as global warming ‘heretic’

Plantlife International and of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Both organisations have given warnings that wildlife faces a catastrophe because of global warming.

They have been acutely embarrassed to discover that while they have been campaigning to raise awareness, their president (Bellamy, 72, a former botany lecturer) has been leading seminars and writing articles in science magazines declaring that man-made warming is a myth.

Last month he made similar assertions in New Scientist magazine when he claimed that glaciers were expanding because the world was getting cooler rather than warmer. The claim contradicted recent scientific studies that found 85% of the world’s glaciers are in retreat.
