6. "Global Warming advocates tend to be pro-nuclear." - not true at all!
Most environmentalists and global warming advocates are not pro-nuclear.
There are some vocal pro-nuclear people, and an aggressive marketing campaign by the nuclear power industry, but in general, I don't think your statement is true at all. Most environmentalists want sustainable renewable energy, which might include fusion in the future.

Some global warming advocates who are not pro-nuclear:

Stephen Pacala, co-author of the famous MIT "CO2 Wedges" study:
"I personally think nuclear is a non-starter."

Al Gore, in a recent interview:
"I doubt nuclear power will play a much larger role than it does now."
