That is precisely what the major climate scientists like Hansen are saying.
It's my theory that a goodly fraction of the so-called "environmentalists" are not really environmentalists at heart.
NO - they hate the industrialized societies that we have constructed.
Being for the environment is only their EXCUSE for being against the industrialized society.
So nuclear power is incompatible with their desires; they don't want to have their cake and eat it too; they don't want to have both the industrial society and be kind to the environment.
They want to destroy the industrial societies; and they are using environmentalism as their convenient "excuse".
So, of course, that type of so-called "environmentalist" ( the disingenuous type ) wants to destroy the industrialized societies; so they are the ones that oppose nuclear power.
The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
