Also, this is another example of why enviros should not obsess about global warming to the exclusion of other serious environmental and ecological problems. More dam(n)s and nuke plants will create even more destruction (not to mention that they will do little or nothing to stem global warming), but global warming is now being used as an excuse to cause all sorts of other ecological destruction.
