Have to agree with EQ and add, has the world ever considered the damage done by the use of coal; not even a weapon, yet has taken more lives than the peaceful use of uranium!

When measured against the casualty count that's the record of the peaceful use of uranium?

Linley needs to stop and smell the Co2 in the morning, which is at unprecedented levels.

And we have technologies which hold the promise of no more meltdowns ever!

The real worry should be allowing or causing these weapons to be ever used again as might well be the case as climate change increases competition for water and arable land.

Seriously we confront an annihilation event; and these folk try with all means possible, and rank fearmongering and massive misinformation?

To effectively prevent the use of practically the one universally affordable thing that will allow us to reduce the Co2 in the atmosphere!

This is exactly what you can expect from a group, which has allowed logic and rational thinking to be replaced by dogma and ideology; and want to return to the future, with the dawn to dark gut bust that was an integral part of it!

And only actually possible if the population is reduced by a full two thirds; the real goal of these soulless monsters?
Rhrosty.

Yes. As every Japanese school book tells us it was America that:

- Forced Japan to invade Korea

- Forced Japan to invade Manchuria

- Forced Japan to invade Southeast Asia

- Forced Japan to advance south within 30 kms of Port Moresby

- Forced Japan to bomb Darwin

- Forced Japan to kill 20 million Asians

- Forced Japan to enslave and murder thousands of Australian POWs.

Japan came to Justice.

The yanks may appear as naughty children to drop the first atomic bombs in military action but not many care to know that Hitler and his henchmen were working towards nuclear weapons in WW2 as well.

In the great scheme of things, I'm glad the yanks got it first and actually were not afraid to use it to end the horrors of years of global war.

Imagine the world today IF Hitler and his cronies got and used it first! and yes it is a bit like using a sledgehammer to kill some flies but at least they, and the rest of the world get the message...
The crap stops here and NOW!

Hiroshima could be viewed as tragedy, but Nagasaki was worse. Even after Hiroshima there were some in the Japanese government and military who wanted to fight on. There was suffering in both cities. Hiroshima was angry, Nagasaki was prayerful. Because, maybe they at least realised the consequences of an invasion by the allies. Read the book, or watch the film "the bells of Nagasaki".

If the allies had invaded the home islands, the death toll would have been absolutely horrendous on both sides. I doubt the allies could have stood the loss of life, and as for the Japanese!

Note; I deliberately use the term "allies", because it was not "just" the "Americans" involved. Everything is today apparently America's fault. (according to the leftists) America, a country who at the time, had both a Secretary of State and a Secretary of the Treasury who were both Soviet agents! Uncle Joe at the helm!

A ludicrous conflation of nuclear energy with nuclear weapons. We know how to deal with nuclear 'waste' and have done for decades, for crying out loud stop repeating the lie that we don't.

What bollocks.

Only two weapons have been used in warfare, and the casualties were far lower than there would have been if the alternative of an invasion of mainland Japan had occurred.

Secondly nuclear power is still by far the safest, and comparing fatalities is twice as safe per kWhr than wind power.
