Al-Khalili promulgating nuclear as the only hope for human survival : www.youtube.com

@lillymunster, he says we may not survive the catastrophe climate change and nuclear to the way to avert it. I've never heard any scientists saying the human race might become extinct from climate change. I've never gotten a clear impression of what the degree of catastrophe will be, other than big changes, rising oceans and such that will force changes, but I've not heard extinction.

@lilly the prison break is all there is on the news here, everyone here is freaked! No one is used to feeling any kind of threat.

@lillymunster, he repeatedly seems to think that not being in the pay of the nuclear industry is proof of not being biased. As if Christians are not biased when it comes to religion if they're not in the pay of the church. But none of those personal issues matter, just the quality of the arguments. He says that worry about what will happen to nuclear waste far in the future is irrational, only what's good for us here and now is rational. It's basically an appeal to amorality.

@Ian He makes irrational arguments and claims they are rational. The issue of what we will do with all the spent fuel is a huge environmental problem and similar in many ways to the climate change issue. Isn't it trading one disaster for another?

People on twitter complaining that everyone having a quake alarm on their phone all going off at once is scarier than actual quake.
by lillymunster 1/12/2012 3:37:15 AM

Supposedly Fuku is ok. I don't see how they could confirm that so quick. Maybe it is "the buildings are still standing" kind of check? :-) www3.nhk.or.jp

No doubt. Nothing fell, but whether there are cracked pipes leaking or other problems will unfold more slowly

@bo radiation level's in later today/tomorrow reports will be telling. The New Years quake caused some radiation increases at 3 and south of the plant.

Having the quake alarms go off is scary, but watching the plant shaking like crazy live on the TBS cam then 15 seconds later feeling your house in Tokyo start to shake is scarier. ON the TBS cam the cranes are already working again though...

@MaryW no nothing here. We are too far away. We felt nothing on the 3/11 quake
by bo 1/12/2012 4:13:00 AM

@bo What! nothing was felt on 3/11? unbelievable
by MaryW 1/12/2012 4:13:56 AM

Maybe I'll still travel to Japan, knowing that the entire island does't shake with a quake
by MaryW 1/12/2012 4:14:44 AM

Hahaha. Yeah, we are about 500 miles away, so the first I knew of the quake on 3/11 was when a friend called me from LA ten minutes later to ask me if I was ok.
