Did you miss the Anthropogenic Global Warming question Charlie?

It is my experience that there is a strong statistical correlation between been a nuclear advocate and been a AGM denier.

Indeed. If Charlie turns out to be a denialist, we're looking at perfect 100% correlation amongst the pro-nuclear crowd here, I believe?

Seems a little harsh to ask this question directly instead of directly engaging with Charlie's "arguments". On the other hand life's too short - it's like "debating" the archeology and history of the Middle East with a believer in Young Earth Creationism. Science, facts, evidence, statistics will just be like water off a duck's back.

The issue for a climate change deniers is that pursuing nuclear will actually cement in an elevated emissions profile for at least two decades, well past the point where we will be in breach of our climate change obligations.

Nuclear would crowd out renewables and the rapid emisson cuts they offer.

Do you know what would make a pleasant change ?

You answering a question for once.

In relation to emission/global warming/electricity generation, which European country has the lowest emissions and what is their predominant fuel source for electricity generation ?
