Just Stop Oil Protesters

Why don't you tell me? Why you believe anyone will die from it at all.

I don’t need to. You prove to me that nobody will die from radiation poisoning over the next 10,000 years from nuclear waste. You can’t.

Speaking to the Future

Nuclear waste remains dangerous for millennia, so how do we keep people in the distant future away from it?

Well then, I find the casual comments about immigration off topic and offensive. Whether they are taken down or not, I may as well say so.

Unfortunately, Nuclear will have to become a factor if we want to make a big dent in the CO2 emission problem. My own hope is that we will be able to deal with the waste issue over time, but we probably do not have time to wait for that solution first. However, even with present day understanding of nuclear physics it's perfectly reasonable to expect we will eventually be able to transmute the waste into completely harmless compounds at scale and at a reasonable cost so we don't have bury it and wait for distant future generations to deal with it.

The fact we live in an age where the massive waste of energy known as space tourism is a thing tells you all you need to know about which group of people are directing the climate and energy policies and debate worldwide. Only one sector of the population benefits (if you count personal pleasure as a benefit) from this activity and 99.999967% are not members of this group.

When l started this thread it was to highlight the disruption caused by JSO to the very people who probably accept their ultimate aim ,the end of fossil fuels. I don't mind the fact it's veered off but it's all still relevant to global warming.,habitat destruction,water pollution etc Healthy debate is good ,l know some don't agree that global warming is an issue. I accept they have a different view but off topic gives us the chance to discuss this
