The November 2006 Walk against Warming march protesting climate change. Definitely more than a little bit political!

Um, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but it's not nuclear power that causes global warming, but burning fossil fuels...

And that should be stopped now not some 20 years in the future, when (if) solar plants could substitute nuclear ones...

The banner refers to our PM - who is a climate change skeptic - and his massive support for nuclear power rather than the renewable energies such as solar. When you live in a country like Australia that gets so much sunshine, this attitude is frustrating to say the least.
Although you can argue that nuclear power has a negative climate change effect when you look at the huge amounts of fuel that will be required to transport the waste to the middle of nowhere. That is not being discussed in the nuclear power debate.
