BUENOS AIRES -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair's Science Advisor Sir David King regularly calls climate change "the greatest threat facing mankind" and "worse than terrorism." A local paper here, the Buenos Aires Herald, echoed this sentiment in an editorial this week. Blair himself more modestly calls climate change "the greatest environmental threat".
If things are so hazardous, one obvious question arises: why, then, is the timid Kyoto proposal all that is on the table for immediate action? After all, even accepting each and every worst-case scenario assumption, Kyoto would only reduce global temperatures by a barely detectable 0.07 degrees by 2100. Is that a serious response to the "greatest threat"?
Kyoto proponents acknowledge it is merely "the first of 30 steps". Kyoto is all that is proposed because it is as large a pill of energy suppression that rich countries would presumably swallow. Restricting energy use as dramatically as Kyoto supporters claim is necessary is patently a non-starter."

The article makes lots of good points so called "greatest threat". If Global warming caused by human emission of CO2 were really a threat, then of course building a lot more nuclear reactors would be the obvious solution.
