Yes, most of those articles have come out of the LaRouche organisation, a right wing political organization that one should scrutinise very closely before you decide you like or endorse the claims they make.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_Movement

Not saying I agree or disagree with the views on LaRouche, but to be fair wikipedia is hardly the gold standard of truth...

Precisely. Nothing is beyond being questioned.

All please note the title to this thread is a question. "Wind, Solar or Nuclear???" or for that matter any of them?
Nothing like a good healthy debate. That is supposed to be what parliament is about........Isn't it?

Don't like wikipedia? Fine. I'll provide actual links for you:

www.larouchepac.com/
www.cecaust.com.au/

These people think that Obama is trying to hand control of the US to the "British Empire" www.larouchepac.com/node/19003

...and that Australia's carbon tax is the Queen's idea and that she has, "devoted her reign to a genocidal imperial strategy of global depopulation, by using her power and influence to direct the rise of "green" fascism..." cecaust.com.au/pubs/pdfs/Ditch_queen.pdf

These people have zero credibility and their publications are highly, highly suspect. But don't take my word for it have a read for yourself.

CFC was hailed as a environmentally safe product, until we discovered it was destroying the Ozone..

I thought it was Mt Erebus blowing the hole in the ozone. The hole was directly above it.

The chemistry behind CFC and its effect on O3 is well known, and Wiki has an excellent summary of its effects.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depleting_substance

Basically, the harmless CFC's float themselves into the upper atmosphere, where they get broken down by UV and release their Chlorine, which catalyzes Ozone..

Scientists caused a fuss over it, and people got upset over the science.. But they saved the F%$king world and everybody forgot how close we came..

Amazingly there is another chemical that was almost used instead of CFCs which was a million times worse at destroying Ozone.. It was an accident of history CFC was chosen, it would all be over if we chose Bromodifluoromethane..

We have come close to destroying our only atmosphere, now it could be happening again and everybody is crying about a Tax.. idiots
