Hang on a minute...

"However, it adds that the response to climate change should not involve greater reliance on nuclear power because this would encourage the spread of nuclear weapons and increase the risk of terrorists getting hold of them."

They had to ask a 'leading UK Thinktank' for that!?!?!??

And leaving aside the environmental and security hazards with nuclear, why don't they mention the other problem? Uranium is also a finite resource (and very scarce already) and if you replaced half the world's oil consumption with nuclear power the uranium would run out in around 20-25 years.

Strike three, nuclear's out!

Sadly, I think not, but one can hope.
