No, because nukes are a genuine threat. have you forgotten Chernobyl, 3 mile island, and Fukishima?

No, it is not the same.
Nuclear energy is potentially dangerous (not least because of it’s potential to generate nuclear weapons). We have -as yet- no good (economically and safely) ways of getting rid of the nuclear ‘waste’,. That being said, nuclear energy is a serious, but rather expensive, option. The French get most of their electricity from nuclear fission. However compared to the potential of solar energy it is not worth the expense, immo.
Anti-vax is completely stupid, a real hysteria. None of the anti-vax arguments cut any wood, all objections have been thoroughly debunked. It is complete woo.
In other words: the fear of ‘nuclear’ has some serious arguments, Anti-vax has none.

Don’t be silly. That is exactly what your hero, Mr Trump, is doing in reverse.

Is anti-nuke hysteria a bit like anti-vax hysteria?

Isn’t it the Chicken Littles who’re always pointing to yesterday’s weather as proof positive that the sky is falling?

For all clarity, I think that more easy-going style is McCullum’s doing, his legacy as it were , the way I put it was as if they had become friendlier after him.

Note the NYT “we’ve got answers to your questions” leaves a lot to be desired.
eg.
Part 1 Q3: “We’ve known about it for more than a Century”, is only half true. There was also a fear we were heading to an new Ice age in the ’60s and ’70s. The virtual consensus progressively started in the ’80s, and we can only talk about a virtual consensus since the late ’90s.
Part 1 Q4: “Geologists say that humans are now pumping the gas into the air much faster than nature has ever done.” This is not strictly true, it is thought that giant lava flows, such as the ones forming the Deccan Traps or the Siberian flows tens of millions of years ago released greenhouse gases in even greater amounts. We simply do not know how fast this release was. Our dating methods do not allow for such short intervals as thousands of years. Note, they are being linked to mass extinctions.

The most realistic solution is of course to go completely solar. The talk about baseload and storage capacity is bogus. It is political will.

A nice illustration about the amount of solar energy reaching our planet:

Awesome…thanks for that!

I would also like to add that record snowfalls are attributed to global warming. Heat evaporates water, the atmosphere collects it and viola, it falls down in heavier quantities. The ambient temperature dictates rain or snow, but the general warmth of earth’s atmosphere creates the severity that is now so common. Why do so many people think that heavy snow is some kind of proof that climate change is a hoax? 2+2=4 is a difficult truth to protect. It shouldn’t be in 2017, but sadly, it is never free from doubt.

Yeah, I like the friendlier reputation too. The All Blacks got a bit big for their boots for a while there too, but have gone back to being friendly again thank goodness! And the cricket has been great!
