7. Climate scientists to "environmentalists"; we NEED nuclear power

The top climate scientists have released an open letter to "environmentalists" and world leaders:

From the Washington Post:

Top climate scientists ask environmentalists to support nuclear power in climate battle

From the UK Guardian:

Top US climate scientists support development of safe nuclear power

Open letter to environmentalists and world leaders says wind and solar are not enough to diminish carbon emissions

From NPR:

Experts Say Nuclear Power Needed to Slow Warming

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=242730847

For years, the "environmentalists" have been telling everyone that we should be listening to the scientists, and they've been denigrating people like the "climate deniers" for not listening to the scientists. They've been telling us that those that don't listen to the climate scientists are STUPID.

We'll see now if those "environmentalists" have the wisdom and self-integrity to follow their own advice.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
--Neil deGrasse Tyson
