In reply to the discussion: Low-dose study finds no effects [View all]FBaggins

I've never denied whether or not nuclear radiation is man-made... what I've told you (and you have yet to accept - to your own shame) is that it doesn't make any difference.
Take plutonium. Is plutonium natural?
Of course. Did you think that it wasn't? It's actually the heaviest natural element.
But let's pretend that it isn't (there's certainly more manmade stuff in the atmosphere than natural)... Did you think that alpha radiation from Plutoinum is different from alpha radiation from the radon in your lungs right now?
There's a chemical toxicity difference, but the radiation is the same.
