...with the contents of science books are tiresome.

The antinuke fear mongering has had it's day, resulting ultimately in the destruction of the planetary atmosphere, and though it's too late to undo what damage has been done, antinukism is finding its way to the antiscience waste bin where it should have been put years ago.

Robert F Kennedy ain't got nothing on antinukes.

Since the rise of the antinuke cults to prominence, in about 1990, about 200 million people have died from air pollution, which is not to include the number of people killed by climate events, fossil fuel weapons of mass destruction and fossil fuel wars.

Antinukes couldn't possibly care less about this enormous death toll owing exclusively from their rhetoric.

Have a nice afternoon.
