[ RadSafe ] Re: Fears promoted by anti-nuclear Greens and self-serving regulators

[John Jacobus]

Dr. Long,
I do not know any of the "scientist" you are referring
to.  If you mean the names on your list, I would first
ask you to consider their expertise and motives.  I do
not consider a climate physicist to answer questions
about endocrinology.  Would you?

It appears that many of the concerns about global
warming data have being answered in the last few
years.  Maybe you should reconsider your views in
light of the scientific data.
