Nuclear

Chernobyl uplifted massive amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere which has been circulating the planet ever since. It's impossible to calculate the health effects on the entire human population because one cause can't be isolated.
This is also true of burning coal, which has put huge amounts of material into the atmosphere.
So it's impossible to accurately estimate the precise answers.

Concrete also has natural background radiation from thorium and uranium oxides in the original crushed limestone (I have measured these materials in limestone using XRD). Fly ash (from burning coal) has a lot more of these materials as an earlier post indicated. Similar natural sources of radiation include potassium (both from food and granitic rock) and from outer space during solar minimums such as at present. It's probably a good source of genomic mutations, some good, some not so good.

now you're just being silly, everyone knows that the concept of quantum mechanics is as sound as a pintos fuel tank when you're working in the nuclear relativistic version of space time continuums. what snake oil will you be trying to sell us next? That the oil mongols are trying to protect their profit margins? That a politician might consider raising their own renumeration over putting it towards the National debt, vet affairs or helping the homeless?

next you'll be denouncing the true cause of global warming being tied to the decline in pirates...

umm, sorry to burst your bubble, buts its tied to the rising sales of toilet paper.

While I'm not really educated enough on the topic to add anything to this discussion, I did just find this video and found it interesting. Either it shows a side of Renewables I hadn't really considered or it shows how easily swayed i am ;)

every ones ok they just dont want to come back to this side

Well that explains Harold Holt, Elvis and Customer Service at Telstra

Actually, not a bad analogy

correlation vs causation

There has been much effort to correlate Global Warming to CO2, but the model is shaky
No one has been able to prove Causation re global warming & C02 , certainly a lot of opinions.

A cynic would say there is causation between R&D grants, and papers published/views expressed of a certain viewpoint.
JCU for example at the moment is a good example at the moment.

For example

stupid computer, please click.

That correlation is well established. But you won't find the evidence at 2GB or The Australian :-)

now just leave the pirates out of this ya scab.....

I have a copy of the Pirates Creed of Ethics and in the 14 paragraphs of the creed , global warming is not mentioned once.
