The only viable solution is to eliminate CO2, which means dismantling the coal, oil, and natural gas power plants and going to nuclear power plants. Those are the "Big Four" power producers, and only one of them is environmentally friendly: Nuclear power. I'm for clean air. I'm for preventing cancer and asthma. Nuclear is a great way to do that. And of course I'm using the technical definition of a recession. I don't go by polls. A poll taken before the Super Bowl predicted that the Patriots would beat the Giants, after all. We know how that poll turned out. #56, Well lets go with your view on global warming.
