Of course, the writer neglected to mention that our neighbor planet, Venus, has endured REAL runaway global warming caused by an example of REAL greenhouse effect. Whereas the average global temperature on the earth is 13 Deg. C (per the article), on Venus its probably closer to 600 Deg C for the average temperature. And it's been the hot for billions of years - Velokofsky not withstanding.
But this guy seems worried that the temperature of the earth might increase by maybe 1 or 2 degree centigrade - in 100 years - what most of the global warming panic stricken twits are worried about. Still somewhat less than 600 Deg. C, we could all agree.
The writer also neglected to mention that Venus somehow has never managed to blow up in all those billions of years, either.
I guess we're not scaring children enough anymore, predicting one Deg. Celsius of temp rise. So let's just up the ante slightly to blowing up the planet.
Like any socialist you have to create a demon and propose a solution. But that solution forwards his agenda causing the rest of us to lose a little more liberty.
That is because Venus doesn’t have a reactor core. Venus has to get by on lithium cells.
