Prominent nuclear and radiation expert Dr. Christopher Busby has slammed British global warming alarmist George Monbiot as being \u201ccriminally irresponsible\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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, \u201cwildly exaggerated the dangers of radioactive pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the disaster at Fukushima, I am no longer nuclear-neutral. I now support the technology,\u201d added Monbiot.<\/p>\n

Monbiot\u2019s bizarre nuclear \u201ckool-aid\u201d 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 situation at Fukushima has worsened considerably. Click here <\/a>to continue reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
