Its not about conscience and what we are doing to our children, its about capitalism - can people make money selling nuclear energy now? the rest is just marketing.

The earth is a closed system - the only energy input in the past came from the Sun or Moon. Solar energy obviously comes from the sun. Wind energy is indirectly caused by the sun warming the air. Tidal energy comes from the moon. Hydro dams are fuelled by the water cycle which is controlled by the sun. That only really leaves combustion and fission as less natural sources. Combustion occurs regularly in both Australia and California on a wide scale with bush fires. The only other notable energy sources are: Fossil fuels, coal, wood fires and fission. If you run a boat engine inside a swimming pool for long enough, the water will heat up. Does that mean boats heat up the oceans? Yes, a little, not much as its so big compared to only a few boats relatively speaking. Fission is creating energy from something that didn't occur in nature, that energy eventually turns into heat. There will be a small effect over time of heat. Enough to matter? I doubt it...

His argument must be about genetic engineering. Some people might assume it's his view that external knowledge being part of evolution is what's different, but it's not - as anyone with any real contemplation will point out - external transfer of information has been happening in many other species for many millions of years. An example would be the documented case of Blue Tits pecking through milk bottle lids on doorsteps to get at the milk. One bird started it, others copied, new generations of birds observed and copied it. Information was passed down. http://www.britishbirdlovers.co.uk/articles/blue-tits-and-milk-bottle-tops.html

Way too long ago to matter tho. Initially they sent a rover to earth and found no life here then, and that it was uninhabitable for them, so they went off to another planet far far away. The rover they sent here contained bacteria from their planet, some of which adapted and became the first forms of life here - thus we are all descended from martians. Not many of them left to go to this new planet - many of them didn't believe the planet was going to end, and the birthrates dropped there so the population dwindled. The remaining few battled among themselves to make it onto the escape ship but even then they didn't believe that birthrates would be any better. The trip to the new planet was so long that the only chance of success involved breeding during the journey, so those left behind never knew whether it succeeded or not. Once they got to the new planet, it wasn't habitable enough for them, it was close, but within 5-10 years they all perished of stress and fatigue. Many bacteria were successful on their new planet and changed the course of history there - killing off whole species and creating new species. In the same way that the later invasion of earth from an extra solar planet killed off the dinosaurs here. The neanderthals were alien to earth, and when they arrived they changed the course of primate evolution here - allowing humans to rise, but ultimately couldn't adapt to this environment. I'm sure I could make up more stuff but at the end of the day does it really matter?

Surely the fact terrorists have anonymous access to physical roads and footpaths is a bigger issue? If that was restricted it would make their intentions measurably harder to pursue.

The reason frogs are dying is because they aren't worth any money to anyone, so nobody really cares. In countries like France I'm sure they have bio-security to stop travelers bringing in diseases for them. Countries are already recognizing the impact other countries can have on their climate and taking action to prevent unexpected changes. Trying to make people care by arguing that them dying off might affect the planets future is simply doom-saying unless you can prove it, and it will be hard convincing the majority without hard proof as it won't get media coverage. Change isn't always necessarily bad, it creates new opportunities. Sure people's hearts bleed when you talk about animals dying, but we probably kill many more to eat.
