2014 was hotter than 1998. 2015 data in yet?

It isn't an irrational fear that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and will increase temperatures. It is rather solid science. Nuclear can replace all of our gas and coal fired plants, and it can do it now. France has already shown that it can work. With advances in battery capacity, it won't be too long before everyone can use electric vehicles for personal transport. That just leaves large vehicles like transport trucks.

For me, an irrational fear is one that is not based known mechanisms. I guess we just differ on what is and isn't irrational. Indeed, it is. At times, it is hard to separate the movement to replace fossil fuels from the Green movement which fights to stop nuclear power. It seems to be a case of cutting off the nose to spite the face. France's production as a percentage of total power output is well above the US. About 75% of France's electrical power comes from nuclear."In 2004, fission energy made up the largest share of France's energy consumption at 39%. Looking purely at electricity, though, 407 TWh (75%) out of the country's total production of 541 TWh of electricity was from fission-electric power stations, the highest percentage in the world."
Nuclear power in France - WikipediaI see no reason why this wouldn't scale with population.

Where did you hear that from? What is wrong with wanting a nice planet to live on in the intervening 4 billion years? Right now, it is man.

You will need to quote and cite those science papers for us.
