The problem isn't CO2. It's too much CO2.
And original post highlighted "phasing out natural gas for heating". It has its advantages over coal, but it still emits sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which contribute to acid rain and ground level ozone.

Guess what - I agree with you here. Ontario and other places should build NEW Nuclear power plants. Nuclear is surprisingly clean. Hopefully they can build the newest, next-technology plants. I forget what they are called (it's 2:50am and I'm dead tired) but yes, Nuclear.
(See? We can agree on something)

I'm sure you are right.

Eon, look. THere's no reason to insult me, at least on this. I am trying to have a conversation with you. The whole issue is complicated and there are millions of things that come into play on both sides. You have your opinions and I have mine and thats cool for the both of us. I think maybe the difference though, is that I am more optimistic about things in general. I will always look at things that interest me and wonder how they can be made to be better.
You named me in your OP and here I am, giving you my opinion. If your original reason for placing my name in your post was just to fight, then thats too bad and I've wasted my time. Hopefully I'm wrong about that. Maybe your next post will answer that question.
Cheers.
