When discussion ends, nothing changes. You are as entitled to your views as anyone else.

I think waiting for politicians to do anything is a waste of time and I suspect we need a personal code of conduct based on the premise that we don't own the planet, we merely safeguard it for those who follow.

Logic says protect it because we don't have a replacement. Whether you believe the science or not, the logic should be obvious.

Some of the above (recent) comments serve to reinforce my conviction that democracy (rule by public opinion) is in fact not such a good idea.

I think they're trying out an alternative in Syria/Iraq right now.

Indeed... and being that the charnel houses of Iraq and Syria are a deliberate and direct consequence of the geo-poliical machinations of the ostensible democracy that directs proceedings in the region, it does nothing but reinforce my belief further.

I thought we were living in a Democracy coated Plutocracy.

That is why I used the term 'ostensible'

Members please settle down..no.politics remember...the topic is safer nuclear power.
Like really the problem is a growing population and how to feed it and supply energy...and water..NP is something that will be ...how safe can we make it...we will need everything generating power to supply the population...rising standards of living means we simply need more power

Become a teacher and see just what you have to put up with in the classroom. You might also ask why this is so? Teachers fault... Yeah right. The average teacher gets 6 dedicated minutes per kid per week, PROVIDED nobody else fires up in class. Before making statements about teachers, make them about parenting, government policy and social attitudes towards anything that requires more than 3 brain cells and 30 seconds to do...

Hi

Great I like your dedication. So we don't get sidelined by misinterpretation I have sent you a PM.

If it cheers anyone up we are already using renewable resources that our planet gives us for free at the rate of 150%. This is of course such things air, water, soil and the once bountiful oceans.

This is unsustainable.

Denial will just make you feel better.

We can keep polluting and exploiting until there is nothing left.

I just wish I was wrong.

The people with all the 'money' think they are insulated. One cannot eat 'money'.

Soylent Green anyone?

We are as mindless as the bacteria in a Petri dish. We multiply until we have used half the nutrients in the dish. Then we multiply again and we are at 100%.

Humanity is currently using our life supporting resources at about 150% of the ability of the planet to produce.

Hand waving arguments by the ignorati saying that the very science they are denying will save them is frankly absurd.

Have a nice rest of your life. If you are younger than me you are in real trouble.

I do not care for myself in all this. I have children and grandchildren and I fear for them as I do for all other younger and yet to be born humans.

Most are uneducated and just bleat on about Chernobyl and Fukushima with no real data to back up their stand

Some light reading, of course no data to back up the story, but if one kid pees in a swimming pool the whole pool is compromised, equally so with our oceans.

Light reading indeed..
I read the link and links last might and could not get to sleep.
I do wonder what the data indicates
I think I will take the head in the sand approach as I don't think I really want to know if it is as serious as suggested..
