So you would do the right thing because Science says so. That's good. Why can't I do the right thing because Science says so, too? CO2 is proven to be a greenhouse gas, and too much greenhouse gas has proven to warm the planet, and too high an average temperature will cause a lot of changes for the earth, which has also been proven and is even visible. Science is science, truth is truth, and must apply to everyone.

Bingo. Everyone should think critically and seek the truth. You and I are in total agreement.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Why are you taking something and turning it completely into something else just to forward your own opinions? Do you do this all the time and with everything?

Iran has achieved self-sufficiency in the construction of most of its solar power plants, wind farms, geothermal plants, dams, and so on, and they even take on contracts to build some of the same all across the region and even globally in some cases (recent projects in Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, Armenia, Oman, and Nicaragua). Don't you know anything?
And also, you should really stop using the word "Nukes". This is language that Fox News would use when describing this scenario. What we're talking about are Nuclear reactors for energy, not nuclear bombs.
Here's the facts.
Iran has agreed to only enrich uranium to 3.67%. You can't make a bomb with this. They would have to enrich it to almost 90% to make a bomb.
Iran cuts centrifuges from 19,000 to 6,104, with 5,060 for enrichment. If they were going to be sneaky and try to enrich uranium to the 90% they need to make a bomb, trying to do so with so few centrifuges would take forever, giving them plenty of time to get caught in the act before being able to attack someone with a bomb.
Iran to cut Uranium Stockpiles from 10,000kg to just 300kg (97%). By giving up all this material they cannot possibly create a nuclear bomb anyway.
Finally, with all of that above, IAEA will still inspect Iran?s nuclear facilities. The deal has severely crippled Iran's abilities to make a bomb, and if by some crazy miracle they did make one, the sanctions destroying their country now that are lifted under the deal would be instantly returned.
Dynamo for once in your life, turn off your ultra-paranoid republican hat, and start giving your president a little credit.
