Please enlighten us as to which scientific journals you read Mr. Griffin.

Nietzche's comment about beware of dragons lest you become one yourself is trite, granted, but it's probably trite because people repeat it a lot, because it's a real, observable pitfall. Or as a man once said, "How can Satan cast out Satan?"

The non-stop spew of hatred in internet comments sections is not useful, and I'm not singling anyone out. It's a symptom of a perverse addiction to anger. Which probably comes from a feeling of powerlessness. Granted, those who damp it down and try to defuse it for years before finally responding to the nonstop vile stream of evil from those who promote it, are not as much to blame as the ones who do it 24-7 out of sadism and malicious glee.

Er, your first link doesn't dispute much except say that the reduction in CO2 might not be huge, only large.

And it is reasonable (sort of) that a global warming denier would find it all pointless anyway.

Your second link says that coal is indeed cheaper. Yup. Unless costs which you say don't and won't exist really do.

I'm not a climate scientist. Nor are you. So I will shut up and just say Occam's razor indicates the vast % of climate scientists - who are by no means "liberals" - au contraire - probably know more about it than either of us.

You may be onto something, Fredo, that I havn't heard of. Please give a link. If this is true, I need to come up with a less energy-consuming fabrication method. Of course, you could use silicon cells to manufacture more silicon cells. Expensive, yes, but if long-life cells are developed, NOT necessarily a losing proposition. But I'm off to search the intertubes now for this information!
