I'm not sure of the date, but this was uploaded earlier this month. The location appears to be in Massachusetts where the Vermont Yankee plant is very political.
It's funny because at about 6:15 she says that she thinks Entergy has their offices in New York, "they don't even belong here". Hello? She's from Australia! And Entergy is headquartered in Louisiana.
Shortly after she says, "we know in our hearts and souls what is right to save our children". The "we" refers to women as she tries to stereotype men. And this particular man (me!) knows with his brain. My heart pumps blood and souls don't exist.
She does acknowledge global warming and American consumption, followed by anti-nuclear weapons. I can't argue with that.
At about 23:00 she starts teaches us (ahem) about radiation. She says tritium is "very carcinogenic", plus causes a bunch of other stuff. It's not "very" and hasn't been shown to cause "many other things".
A plant can't help releasing all the tritium it makes everyday? The tritium goes to the river?
She's bonkers! And then she just lists a bunch of radionuclides piling on the fearmongering. Did anyone actually learn anything? No.
At about 30:00 she goes into Chernobyl, telling the audience that one location after another got a "hell of a dose".
Of course that's followed by Fukushima. It's a huge coverup with many doctors involved!
She tells us about Fukushima's thyroid abnormalities but leaves out that the incidence is not significantly different than other areas.
At about 36:45 she presents the New York Academy of Sciences book (sounds credible, right?) which is no longer published because it was so bad. And Chernobyl Heart...a documentary made by someone who doesn't understand epidemiology. And on and on....
She mentions the symposium she held, but apparently she
At about 45:30 she attacks the Japanese a-bomb survivor stating that it only looks at thyroid cancer, which is a blatant lie. It is the longest, most expensive epidemiological study in human history.
At the end she advises the group how to get attention including photos of deformed babies. Yeah, because there are so many.
She mentions her father's death by cancer. Maybe that is the motivation for her unethical conduct.
Or maybe she just uses that to make her audience think that's her motivation....
George Monbiot took Caldicott down pretty effectively... it's on the Guardian, not hard to find. Unfortunately Monbiot himself shot his credibility with me in his climategate cock-up. And that's before noting that he's just as competent in nuclear physics as James Hansen...
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm familiar with him.
