Climate report

A major new scientific report offers a road map for how countries can limit global warming, but warns that the margin for error is vanishingly small. Last year, fossil fuel emissions worldwide rebounded to near-record highs after a brief dip as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. This is a lengthy report covering the evils of fossil fuels. Here is the only mention of nuclear. First, countries would need to clean up virtually all power plants worldwide that generate electricity for homes and factories. That means relying more on wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal or hydropower. Bill Clinton said 30 years ago we must use all sources of carbon free power. Nuclear is the 800 pound gorilla in the room and no one seems to notice. This report could have been a new beginning for nuclear but it didn't happen. There can be no serious attempt at solving the problem of global warming without putting nuclear at the top of the list.
