We’re going to look back and realise that the destruction wrought by global warming was far worse in every way than at Chernobyl.

- Forgeties79 11mo agoI don’t know if you quite realize how close to a major climate change event Chernobyl almost became.
- ericd 11mo agoYou might want to elaborate?
- fragmede 11mo agoThat's not supported by physics. Even at the worst - if the other reactor had somehow also melted down, that still wouldn't have caused a major climate change event. It would have been absolutely terrible, regionally, but not globally. Nuclear reactors aren't atomic bombs.
- Forgeties79 11mo agoI don’t understand. Plenty of climate change related developments are regional. See: the increasingly devastating hurricanes forming in the Gulf of Mexico. Not every single thing that we attribute to climate change has to span the entire globe.
