Read [Buffy's arguments](http://www.opendemocracy.net/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=179&threadID=44230&messageID=60972#60972) in the rapidly heating forums of the openDemocracy debate on the politics of climate change.

Buffy thinks "it would be a mistake to base hoped-for UK leadership in climate change on such a problematic technology". For more on the political context, read [this post](http://www.opendemocracy.net/blogs/page/climateChange/20050425#uk%5Felection%5Fcampaign%5Fhots%5Fup) in Hot Politics.
