The planet is so much cooler than it was 8000 years ago or 4000 years ago.
Just because we started collecting meteorological data 200 years ago or so at the point in time when the planet was the coldest, we worry too much about the planet warming up.

Nuclear is not clean energy
Please support your claim.
The people in the evacuated had their lives uprooted, and in many cases ruined for no reason at all.
After the Fukushima incident, the government had planned to just clean up and move on. It was the public and the press that demanded the unnecessary evacuation and excessive cleanup effort.
The “evidence” was tragically misleading. Given its consequences, I have no problem calling evacuation supporters evil.

Also, is it true people on carnivore diets never fart?
and we don’t produce ear wax either.
so the article has many falsehoods but I’ll just point out the biggest one by the farting vegan author: plant protein produces adequate protein so you don’t need animal protein.
I have heard that due to its low bio availability you would have to eat 3 kg of broccoli to get the same amount of absorbable protein as you would from a 300 g steak. Whether or not that is true is up to you to find out. I went carnivore and I feel great 24/7. I was carb bloated on Japanese food for 25 years and felt awful.
i’m also positive that the vegetables deplete your bones of minerals which led to me losing about 5 cm of height over that time.

Thank goodness they’re finally coming to their senses.
I pray we achieve at least 90% nuclear power generation.
for that they’ll have to start building new reactors
people need to learn that radiation is not that big of a risk. It is a small and extremely manageable risk.
all of the worlds nuclear waste fits onto a single football field. its potency diminishes quickly.
if you’ve lived in Japan for any amount of time you’ll know that it’s a risk-averse culture prone to hyper-overreaction. Fukushima is an example of gross mis-management by Japan. Apparently they’ve finally learned from their mistakes. Support nuclear or go back to Stone Age living

Perhaps Ms Payne should do more research before writing info that is not 100% accurate.

Posted in: Japan can raise renewable energy share to 80% by 2035: study See in context
Nuclear energy is in itself the reflection of humanity's stupidity, thinking that such energy is the cleanest of all
it’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. You didn’t know that nuclear power was cleaner than Solar? Cleaner than wind? To make renewables requires fossil fuels. You can’t make a solar panel with a solar panel right? Do you know how much underground concrete a single windmill requires? Do you think that electric cars make the amount of CO2 go down? they don’t.
by the way did you hear the good news that a 3 mile island unit is reopening in 2028? Seems they need to meet the demands for AI and data processing etc. and renewables are not up to the task.
anyway renewables produce far too much waste to be taken seriously. windmills in the ocean are gonna make sea animals go extinct. Recycling them costs more than it does to make them in the first place. And if they’re so cheap why do they need subsidies?

Brazil has the same right to deforestation as western countries.
Brazil beef cattle production systems can be considered as “grass-fed based”, since all breeding and rearing are made on pastures, and only 7.5% (Brazilian Association of Feedlot Producers), or even less, of the slaughtered cattle are finished on feedlots, and for a short period of time.
so much for the antibiotics misinformation.
obviously beef doesn’t cause cancer.
