“The nuclear industry is benefiting immeasurably from the current catastrophism.”
If one good thing can come out of the hysteria, this would be it.

Well, of course. The dominant meme has been that the world is getting hotter and will one of these days spike up to some hellish temperature, the poles will melt, and we’ll all die. Alongside it there’s always been the rather opposite scenario that says that man-caused CO2 emissions will lead to a new ice -age. It’s received considerably less traction, and seems to completely contradict the dominant strain of alarmism; yet the global warming crowd doesn’t want to discount it because it has all the necessary elements for any good climate scare: it’s all our fault, and socialism is the only solution.
Pretty clever, Ski.
Me, being an ordinary, uneducated farm boy from Illinois, would have settled to use the word "whether".
About 17 years ago, I was in on a one hour whirlwind tour of Oxford University. I stopped in a book store that had some Oxford U tee shirts for sale, and I listened in on a conversation between two young long-haired, wire rimmed spectacled, work shirt clad, Marxists.
One said, “After the revolution, the first thing we should do is kill all the environmentalists.”
I had just that morning read an article in the Telegraph about Hitler’s environmentalism. I pointed out to said young Marxists that Hitler was an environmentalist. It pleased them to hear that.
What I should have said, “Why wait? Kill them now.”
