Here is a subsequent report

And unless the information is forged, the claims in your book are fanciful.

The UN with it long list of respected scientific institutions from all over the world has had access not only to the information your scientists have, but all the medical reports they omitted.

Comparing these scientists to Darwin and Mendel is a little rich, as they have not actually produced any new science, simply reworked existing figures. (There is a saying that there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.) And I am sure that they will do financially very well for their work of fiction.

From the little I read from your link, I saw lots of charts, maps etc, but very little substantiation.

I also see very few experts willing to back their theories.

So, Shadow Minister,

the Electrical Engineer,

dismisses the the NYAS Annals volume titled
"Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment,"

"... compiled by authors Alexey Yablokov of the Center for Russian Environmental Policy in Moscow, and Vassily Nesterenko and Alexey Nesterenko of the Institute of Radiation Safety, in Minsk, Belarus."

as a "work of fiction".

He is welcome to his "views".

SV,

The NYAS is a association, and not an acedemic institution in its own right.

The volume you mention is a book that they are flogging on behalf of the authors, I don't see any NYAS endorsement of the book.

I have also seen books by otherwise respected "scientists" disproving climate change, the task of an intelligent person is to winnow the wheat from the chaff.

On one hand there are multiple reports by the UN based on information from just about every major respected institution in the world all saying something similar, and one novel by three hitherto unknown scientists extrapolating from other data, figures thousands of times higher than measured.

When I see fantastical figures like this, I need more than my own desires to believe it, I need solid evidence and corroboration before I accept it.
