@GoldenGail3 what about chernobyl really though?

like do you think driving in a car is safer than flying?

many people might think that way, but the statistics show that the chances of injury or death from driving in a car are way higher than flying by air and i think that plays a big role into fears about nuclear energy

people associate it with these undeniably horrible events

but that skews their perception on it

good read either way i think

Nuclear is safe as fuck (as the article states)

But yeah, it's all about perception

USE THORIUM

Nuclear energy is one of the safest methods of getting electricity

The problem is with the method of getting energy from fission and the maintenance of the facilities

Which raises concerns in some places

GG @Boo, you just advanced to level 8!

There is also the method of getting rid of nuclear waste

And also precautions when something is about to go wrong

But overall i can say that nuclear energy is one of the best ways of getting electricity

And who knows maybe in a decade humanity will be able to do nuclear fusion with the yield of Q=10

wrong

climate change is REAL.

If climate change is real then "climate-debate" is a huge fucking waste of energy and time. What about "climate change discussion" instead? Can we actually talk about real issues in the climate change era instead of indulging russian trollz and calling it a debate

I think the channel is for discussing all things climate related. And believe it or not, there really are folks here who seem skeptical about the extent of human contributions to climate change...

@Deleted User im confused, did someone say climate change isn't real here recently?

supporting nuclear energy doesn't mean you dont believe in climate change

quite the contrary i reckon

nah i wasnt talking bout that

https://skepticalscience.com/CO2-is-not-the-only-driver-of-climate-basic.htm

`What the science says...
Theory, models and direct measurement confirm CO2 is currently the main driver of climate change.`

that is an incorrect statement

the science does not say this

climate is multifaceted as is acknowledged in the science

where do you think the rest of the conclusions in the article came from

spoiler alert - climate science

did you even read past that very first part of the page?

While there are many drivers of climate, CO2 is the most dominant radiative forcing and is increasing faster than any other forcing.

Climate Myth...
CO2 is not the only driver of climate
CO2 is not the only driver of climate. There are a myriad of other radiative forcings that affect the planet's energy imbalance. Volcanoes, solar variations, clouds, methane, aerosols - these all change the way energy enters and/or leaves our climate.

yes i did dear

its not a myth

did you even read the actual science

the only myth here is the assumption that the science says CO2 is the main/only driver of climate

that is simply a false assumption

lol
