The conversation used to be about warming now it's about climate change.

I am arguing that the very sorry fact that we are focusing on inferior technologies like solar and wind instead of nuclear is pretty ironic given the claims by anyone who claims co2 emissions and climate change is the biggest threat to our existence. If you can't see the irony I am not sure what to say.



That's just not true though. Did you read the link I provided? Global warming and climate change are two terms with semantic differences.

You are, I think, arguing that it is the fault of environmentalists that our climate is changing as fast as it is. Because they opposed nuclear power. I think that's a fantasy. The oil and gas industry never made a serious push for nuclear power. US "energy-friendly" administrations never made nuclear power a serious priority (unlike the vast amounts of attention and resources that oil and gas have received).


That's not what I am arguing at all and I have no idea where you would get that idea from.


That's very much how your argument reads. In general, people are going to assume that you are most concerned about whatever you choose to address first and the order in which you make your points.
