If we were a rational species we'd simply ban fossil fuels and see how things shake out. Simply tear down all the fossil fueled power plants and oil refineries, sorry folks, against the law. But we won't. And most assuredly the storms on the horizon, and the storms that are killing people right now, today, and causing this great mass extinction, are NOT a consequence of nuclear power. Even accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima are small curiosities compared to the daily carnage of fossil fuel use.

This is a deadly accurate understanding of the situation.
