DemocracyNow.org - The crisis in Japan has refueled the global debate about the viability of nuclear power. Democracy Now! hosts a debate today about the future of nuclear energy between British journalist George Monbiot and Dr. Helen Caldicott. Nuclear energy remains a controversial topic in climate change discourse, as environmental activists argue how to best reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere—often the debate pits one non-renewable energy against another as renewable energy technology and research remains underfunded. Watch Part 1: www.youtube.com Monbiot has written extensively about the environmental and health dangers caused by burning coal for energy, and despite the Fukushima catastrophe, stands behind nuclear power. Caldicott is a world-renowned anti-nuclear advocate who has spent decades warning of the medical hazards posed by nuclear technologies, and while agreeing about the dangers of burning coal, insists the best option is to ban nuclear power.

This seminar led to George Monbiot's Guardian feature (www.guardian.co.uk As well as outlining my critique of Neoclassical macroeconomics, I explain my credit-based analysis. The discussion at the end about the role of aggregate debt is enlightening in that it shows how most economists can't comprehend that the aggregate level of debt matters.

Nuclear Expert: Monbiot "Criminally Irresponsible" For Downplaying Fukushima Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv www.infowars.net www.prisonplanet.com March 28, 2011 Prominent nuclear and radiation expert Dr. Christopher Busby has slammed British global warming alarmist George Monbiot as being "criminally irresponsible" for writing a series of articles for the Guardian in which Monbiot downplays the threat of radiation from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in a bid to shore up his claims about man-made climate change being a far deadlier concern. In the wake of Fukushima, we have seen numerous self-proclaimed environmentalists who are normally so quick to raise the alarm about devastation caused by man-made global warming, actually downplaying the environmental concerns attached to the Fukushima crisis, radiation, and nuclear power in general. Chief amongst them is prominent British environmentalist George Monbiot, who in an article for the London Guardian last week entitled, Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power, wrote that critics of how Fukushima is being handled had, "wildly exaggerated the dangers of radioactive pollution". "As a result of the disaster at Fukushima, I am no longer nuclear-neutral. I now support the technology," added Monbiot. Monbiot's bizarre nuclear "kool-aid" moment was perhaps written in haste at a time when he believed Japanese claims that the crisis was diminishing. But in the past few days, the <b>...</b>
