On: The Panic Over Fukushima

[altarelli]

Physicist Richard Muller should clearly demonstrate his beliefs by moving to Fukushima, instead of discussing the panic from the other side of the world. And he should also put nuclear risks in perspective, and contradict Seaborg:

He should leave his tenured position at a major university to demonstrate his conviction? That's not a meaningful point or challenge.

[altarelli → nohat]

we have the same point: why should he take a morally superior position and not mislead the public? this is what the documentary is about.

[nohat → altarelli]

I'm not sure what you mean. My point was that challenging him to move to Fukushima doesn't show his hypocrisy or anything. He has very good reasons not to move to Fukushima that have nothing to do with the threat of radiation.

Are you seriously trying to argue with a physics professor using an Adam Curtis documentary? Get outta here....

[altarelli → andreasvc]

listen to Seaborg.
