Environment & Energy

...day, each hour with their application of their incredible ignorance and their indifference to fossil fuels, about which they couldn't care less.

As I point out regularly, with a reference to one of the world's most prominent medical journals, the death toll associated with fossil fuels is about 7 million people per year:

For years, I've been quoting explicitly from this reference about the death toll associated with fossil fuels while cultists carry on about Fukushima. I'll do it again, with full text, not that it ever gets through to the abysmally ignorant advocates for ignoring fossil fuel deaths:

Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (Lancet Volume 396, Issue 10258, 17–23 October 2020, Pages 1223-1249). This study is a huge undertaking and the list of authors from around the world is rather long. These studies are always open sourced; and I invite people who want to carry on about Fukushima to open it and search the word "radiation." It appears once. Radon, a side product brought to the surface by fracking while we all wait for the grand so called "renewable energy" nirvana that did not come, is not here and won't come, appears however: Household radon, from the decay of natural uranium, which has been cycling through the environment ever since oxygen appeared in the Earth's atmosphere.

Here is what it says about air pollution deaths in the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Survey, if one is too busy to open it oneself because one is too busy carrying on about Fukushima:

If so called "renewable energy" worked to address fossil fuels - which it doesn't even remotely - any rational person would support them.

The problem is it doesn't work to address fossil fuels; it entrenchs them.

I was relatively ignorant - as dumb as any fossil fuel coddling antinuke here now - when I joined DU 22 years ago. So I did what zero antinukes here seem to do; I educated myself.

Now, all the religious chanting in the world - and let's be clear, antinukism is a dogmatic quaisreligous cult which denies reality, the reality being that we are using more fossil fuels than ever before - will not change the fact that German antinukes shut their nuclear plants and embraced coal and gas, procuring these from Vladmir Putin's Russia, thus killing people.

The trillions of dollars squandered on so called "renewable energy" did nothing to arrest this vast tragedy, the largest aspect being the collapse of the planetary atmosphere.

Worse, this affectation was built - all the battery bullshit that goes beyond the fast stretches of wilderness torn up to make useless wind and solar industrial plants - on the back of modern African slaves.

The Elements of Power: A Story of War, Technology, and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

I would not be able to live with myself if I didn't do what little I can to confront the grotesque immorality of antinukes and expose it for what it is.

I have offered up a thread in praise of the magnificent Princy Mthombeni, who offers a clarion call for human decency. All sorts of antinukes are mucking around in it exchanging nonsensical horseshit, ignoring the point of the post, one such antinuke, who thinks that because the person's father is an automotive engineer, the tens, hundreds of thousands of nuclear engineers, working to save a dying world, are irrelevant.

One reads this kind of thing and one is disgusted with the vast ignorance leading to a collapsing world.

I invited people to read Ms. Mthombeni's piece to be uplifted by the fight against poverty to which she calls for nuclear energy to address, but as often the case, the ignorant do their best to assert their ignorance in lieu of decency.

The contempt for human decency rings true every time antinukes open their mouths. I suppose that since the thread has been demeaned by this caterwauling, all that is left is to invite yet another of the antinuke ignorance squad to go over to that thread and shit on it.

The world is burning; people are dying in the streets, in alleyways, in their homes from extreme heat. I'm sorry if that fact doesn't get through to people cheering for bulldozers, chainsaws and mines to advance their "renewable energy" cult in the face of this extreme human and environmental tragedy. I'm not really amused; I'm disgusted.

Have a nice day.
