9. How many people in the 60 year history of nuclear power were killed by...

reactors.

As many as will die in the next 5 hours from air pollution?

According to the Lancet analysis of risk factors and the burden of related diseases, a systematic overview of 21 world regions authored by a myriad of authors from around the world, outdoor particulate air pollution killed around 3.2 million people and indoor air pollution about 3.5 million people in 2010.

Hansen gets it, because he's not a mathematical illiterate paranoid who states his own "beliefs" as if they are facts.

There is not one fucking paranoid on this planet who burns oil and gas to carry on insipidly about Fukushima who can point to as many deaths from the whole fucking affair as air pollution will kill in the next ten minutes.

And I note that there is not one fucking Fukushima paranoid on this planet who gives a shit that buildings, cars, trucks, oil refineries in the same damn quake caused 20,000 deaths. How come we never hear from this set of dumbbells that supporters of buildings have cognitive dissonance because buildings cause deaths in earthquakes and tsunamis?

Is there one paranoid anti-nuke who can demonstrate risk linked body burdens from all the radiation released at Fukushima that are likely to kill twenty people over the next twenty years. 50 people? A number of people who will die in the next hour from air pollution?

And yet...and yet...we have asinine statements about what is and what is not "cognitive dissonance."

Hansen's totally and completely right. His paper is irrefutable. Nuclear power saves lives, and it saves the environment and it follows that anti-nuke ignorance kills people.
